Binding of scheduler threads does not effect the affinity of the main thread. However, if you create the thread any other way (e.g. by calling pthread_create() directly), the newly created thread will inherit the affinity of the scheduler thread it happens to execute on (and it may also inherit other unwanted stuff).

I use R14B03 and I threads are started via pthread_create (inside of libx264).

But after this happens very strange situation: htop shows that started
threads doesn't have any affinity.

If I set affinity, threads are spread across cores. Looks like erlang
has nothing to do with it.
