Yes you should have S-OFF. But you can check it by going into the bootloader by restarting your phone while holding volume down button, and it should start with bootloader, and then it will show S-OFF to the top.

Check this video from 6:25 on how to boot into bootloader and check if S-OFF is on.

Another thread about S-OFF has already been created. But S-OFF means security-off. For more info about S-OFF read the text under the title "Finally, what's Radio S-OFF and What Does It Mean to Me?".
