If you read the appropriate section of the manual
(info "(org)Macro replacement")
you will find that
"...
Macro expansion takes place during export, and some people use it to

abbreviation expanders (a lot of people here like yasnippets) or into
the simple abbrev expansion mechanism that org itself provides:
(info "(org)Easy templates")
