Sure they do. It's not a free pass but it is very very very helpful to have a strong foundation in classic ML and statistics.

Not really unless you are looking to jump into a pure research lab. Generally you need publications in the field.

I think the poster was asking specifically about the credentials of the course, not taking the course itself. And I'd argue that it's probably not that interesting to most prospective employers, since they'll care more about things you've actually accomplished (example projects, etc).
