The answer here applies to your use case, if you are interested in getting the robot pose as a ROS message.

Simple. Use GetPose utility. For eg:

gazebo::math::Pose pose = this->model->gazebo::physics::ModelState::GetPose();

You can convert it into your preferred coordinate system through simple transformation.
