Just checked CheckMyTrip now and there is now an e-ticket number.

But was just wondering - if I hadn't checked up on it, would I have been left with a booking reference which was useless?

If your flight is some way away, ticketing can often take weeks, unless it is with a carrier which has a time limit, eg SQ. It has happened that bookings do not get ticketed, but it is rare.
