Compile JCL says object deck goes somewhere then binder creates a load module. Is the load module the runnable program?

Yes. Source → compiler → object → binder/linkage editor → load module in a load library.
//STEPLIB or JOBLIB DD points at that library when you EXEC PGM=NAME. Missing STEPLIB = "program not found" style failures.
