Explain how we know when a chat is encrypted?
Or are they always encrypted by default, regardless of contact verification status?

If encryption is on, then it is encrypted. It is required that the other person you are chatting with is also using an encryption-enabled app, like ChatSecure, Xabber, Pidgin, Adium, etc... so when it shows "On" or in the new v13 beta a locked icon, it is encrypted.
Verified just means that you have taken an extra step to ensure no one is trying to intercept your encrypted messages.
