The loadFinished() signal is emitted in response to WebContentsObserver::DidFinishLoad. From it's in-source documentation:

// This method is invoked when the navigation is done, i.e. the spinner of
// the tab will stop spinning, and the onload event was dispatched.

 https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch#chromium/src/content/public/browser/web_contents_observer.h&q=file:web_contents_observer.h%20function:DidFinishLoad&sq=package:chromium&l=197

So yeah, this should be 2. and 3.
