like what bookworm mentioned, get your skills assessed first as this is part of the requirements
as for the job offer, none is required. although you need to research and submit job vacancies that fit your nominated occupation (also part of the requirements in obtaining a 190 visa)
for your 2nd query, as far as I know all occupations on limited status should be verified first. from experience, if you have completed the documents needed for verifying an occupation on limited status, the rest will be smooth sailing as most of the documents you will be needing to submit will be relatively the same.
All the best!

Does this mean there should be a job offer for application on this nominated occupation?
not necessarily na merong job offer job ads na within ACT lang ang need nila just to make sure na merong demand sa skill set na un.
Or does it mean that every application for limited nominated occupation should be checked first by the ACT immigration body?
yes. once na na print or saved mo as pdf file, you'll send it sa immi ng canberra plust the write-up detailing kung bakit ka karadapat-dapat sa work na un. gaano ka-related ung edu qualification mo and work experience mo sa list na un. meron naman guideline para dun sa write-up. make sure na kita ung date, esp ung place. they would really check the website nung job ads na pinasa mo (gut feel) ko lang. my explanation is stated below.
just to share my exp on this, meron akong 2 job ads na nakalagay na place is canberra pero ang actual na job is in NSW (di ko rin naman sigurado so sinubmit ko na din) so ni-reject nila un but praise God kasi ung 5 pa na sinumbmit ko is in Canberra talaga. I've submitted 7 job ads.
kung kulang naman they would advice you na mag-submit. nung magtanon ako dati is sabi nile at least 4 weeks ung time frame para sa mga job ads...
