Yes it is binding - why do you imagine it isn't?

So why did they ask if i was employed ?

The bank needs to know your circumstances. But at the end of the day if they decide you are a good risk based on what you have said,and you have told the truth, and they agree to lend, there is no problem. But I hope you didn't take out the loan repayment insurance - much of the premium is to cover you should you lose your job. If the bank did sell it to you knowing you are unemployed they could be accused of misselling.
