If you pay down a loan you are reducing and asset, but you are also reducing a liability, so your balance sheet would still be in balance. So to answer your question yes it does affect your assets. It reduces your cash.
The balance means the amount of money that you still owe on the loan.
The allowance for loan losses is a contra-asset account that appears on the balance sheet as an offset to loans receivable. It is an account with a running balance of the allowances for loan losses established to report loans receivable at their net realizable value. For example, if you have $100,000 in loans receivable and an allowance for loan losses of $20,000, the net realizable value of the loans receivable reported on the balance sheet would be $80,000 ($100,000 - $20,000). The allowance for loan losses is reduced when a loan or a portion of a loan is written off as uncollectible. The allowance for loan losses is increased when a provision for loan losses is established. The provision for loan losses is the current period expense for loan losses established in the current period. This provision is reported in the statement of operations (or income/loss statement). It represents the amount that is added to the allowance for loan losses in the current reporting period.
