I don't know what you mean by "iter should be updated" - the iterator
is not persistent in any way. That's why you need to use a mark such
as the insertion mark, because the mark sticks around.

You should just need to do:

 gtk_text_view_scroll_mark_onscreen (text_view, 
                                     gtk_text_buffer_get_insert (buffer));

That is supposed to work, if the cursor is at the end of the buffer.
