No - the current page, with the lock symbol and the HTTPS URL, got to the browser securely. The request and response (which sent back the page) were over a secure connection. Once the browser receives the response, the connection ends. When the form is submitted, that's a POST request over a HTTP connection, to which there will be a response, also over a HTTP connection, which will be the confirmation page.
