Looking back at my plans, the septic plan was the first page, done by Septic Designs and stamped by Daniel Ideda. The rest of the document was the house plan, stamped by Robert Smelker. They were submitted together to the county for approval.
So, no, you don't have to have the septic in the ground before submitting house plans.
An interesting note. Nick Moore, who is a licensed (and highly recommended) septic installer, actually moved the location of my septic after reevaluating it's placement on the lot. He was in contact with the inspector and got approval to relocate it.
Feel free to private message me if you want suggestions on the entire process. Having gone through it 5 years ago, I gained a wealth of knowledge of what to do, and what NOT to do when building a house here.
