We have not confirmed it. Once your OpenStreetMap listing is live, check the link to your site: a rel="nofollow" attribute means it is nofollow.

Yes. Listing on OpenStreetMap is free.
How much work does a listing on OpenStreetMap take?
A full profile with screenshots or a verification step: about an hour. How long approval takes is up to OpenStreetMap: many sites review a listing before it goes live.
