Does overdraft / line of credit account count towards util?

I have a $2000 overdraft protection / line of credit account that was tied to my checking account at my credit union.  I closed the checking account a few months ago & recently paid off the remaining balance on the overdraft account. 
 
Is the $2K figured into my CC utilization?  Or is that considered a different type of credit altogether?
 
I'm wondering what the impact will be on my FICO scores if I completely close all my accounts at the CU... right now the overdraft is still open (showing $2K available) and a small savings account.
 
Thanks!

Yes- if it is still open - it is part of your utilization just like a credit card.
