Actually, as Suvayu Ali suggested, it is meaningful only in the default
case, which is no Babel package and English language.
As soon as you tweak either LANGUAGE keyword or
`org-export-default-language', you must use Babel.

Smart-quotes works by heuristics. It will fail in some cases. That's why
I think it shouldn't be on by default (even in latex back-end). Also,
smart quotes can be turned on/off at will, so the user can decide what
to do.
It just a problem of providing sensible defaults. The old exporter
provided smart quotes by default in LaTeX, as you know. I'm not sure it
is a good move, but at least, it is consistent with the previous
implementation.
