I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER... but I have a rooted, unlocked BL, with TWRP on 5.0 OF1 BUILD and here is what it says in the DOWNLOAD MODE.

Odin mode
Product name: Sm-900v
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Reactivation Lock: off
Qualcomm Secure Boot: enabled (csb)
Ap Swrev: S1,T1,A1,A4,P1
MODE: Developer
Secure Download: Enable
UDC Start

I think the "MODE: Developer" is the answer if the bootloader is unlocked. BUT AGAIN I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE.
What you can try to find out for yourself is..

1.go to download mode and write down what it says.
2. Root your phone.. then check what it says again.
3. Unlock BL again see what it says.

If it says "Developer" after you unlock bl then it a good assumption that it's ulocked.

Good luck.:)
