Well, C-TAB is already bound in Org (to
`org-force-cycle-archived`), but if you have no use for that
command, you can of course rebind it. Since `global-set-key`
creates global bindings, which are shadowed by local bindings,
your binding has no effect in Org buffers. You need to bind C-TAB
in `org-mode-map`:
(define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-<tab>") #'my-insert-tab-char)
