This has been my experience as well. Although NVDA does not explicitly state that it is done loading, by announcing 'Taskbar' or something similar, it does indicate that it has fully loaded.

Most aria live regions that I have come across never announce 'please continue' after 'please wait'.

When I load NVDA, from its hotkey alt-control-n I get four ascending tones, in sound, then it says taskbar, or desktop, depending on where I am placed -- so I know it is loaded. Likewise when I stop it, NVDA-q I hear four descending tones, and it is gone.
