GeditDocument have signals for that: "load", "loading" and "loaded".
But it is currently not possible to know if the file is a binary file.
Note that this API will probably be deprecated or removed soon, to have
a better API in GtkSourceView.

Thanks, Sebastien. 

The "API" as far as the signals, for the whole thing in general?
