reconstructed_x seems just the mean of the decode image, don't we need to combine it with the variance to obtain the decode image?

When the input consists of continuous variables, we indeed try to find the mean and variance of each feature for the output. However when the input is binary (as in the case of MNIST) a single mean fully parametrizes it (binomial distribution).
