If you had submitted your application on time, your name would have been listed in the directory of all participants.

Submitting an application on time seems weird to me; in time seems better.

Hi,
on time - a standard expression, meaning roughly 'in accordance with the schedule or prearranged time'.
eg The schedule said the plane should leave at 8pm. It left on time yesterday.
in time - not too late
eg I wanted to talk to her before she left town, but I didn't reach her apartment in time. (There was no schedule.)

Yes, exactly. You virtually never have to submit an application at a specific moment; for example at 17:00 exactly. You usually get until 17:00, the period from the time of announcement until the deadline, hence "he did not submit his application in time." If a plane leaves on time (at the moment it is scheduled to leave), you must be at the airport in time (before it leaves) to catch it.
