IIUC, when nothing bad happens, org has autoloads installed in emacs
which will load org as soon as needed. So you are right, (require 'org)
is unneeded.

In rare cases, though (such as major update of org not yet reflected in
emacs), I guess it might be required to load the right set of autoloads,
i.e. say (load "org-loaddefs"). I'm have no idea why org-install got
removed, because I think it used to serve the same purpose. Maybe I
simply don't understand correctly.
