Applied yesterday morning (11 february) upon arrival. Provided everything thanks to the lovely advices here.

Today (12th) it switch to "pending approval".

Is it a good sign that could indicate that my documents were approved?

It means your docs are looked. Taipei approves quickly but as mentioned they often ask for an interview.
