Default Driver's-side seat belt connector is broken. Is my airbag disabled?

I've spent a lot of time trying to find an answer to my question on Google and this forum to no avail.

My car is a 2007 Honda S2000 with stock seats (stock everything). I just discovered that the seat belt connector under my driver's seat is busted/broken. It appears disconnected. The airbag light (which looks like a person with seat belt on with airbag deployed) is ON. Does this mean that my airbag is disabled? My seat belts still work fine. I would greatly appreciate your input.

If the airbag/SRS light is on, the airbags will not deploy. Neither will the belt tensioners (in a crash, the seat belt retractors are fired, winding backwards and locking the occupants tightly in the seats)

Repair the connector, then the light will need to be manually written off with a paperclip (the light will not go off automatically once the problem is fixed)
