Check.

Mine is "Org". But in my calendar app, there is no "Org" calendar,
just three others.

Same here.

Yes.

I do have three entries, non of them named "Org".
Whenever I choose an existing calendar within MobileOrg preferences,
it stays at the non-existing "Org" calendar. I guess this is the
reason why there is no data sync to my calendar.

Exactly.

I don't have an existing "Org" calendar and I could not figure out
how to create it in my calendar app and MobileOrg obviously doesn't
create it on its own.

OK, then MobileOrg -> Calendar feature is of no use to me since I
avoid the Google cloud.
That's really weird since this feature is especially useful to
people not having Google Cloud sync activated.

OK, at least I got a confirmation that MobileOrg needs this cloud
sync stuff. How unfortunate.
