This is not true. Quotes depend on your LANGUAGE-cookie. See
org-export-smart-quotes-alist.

But this would require us to load an extra package. Org is quite
capable of handling this on the lisp side (and Org ≠ LaTeX). Clearly,
we could have a org-export-user-smart-quote-alist taking priority over
the predefined one.

This has never happened to me, despite extensive usage of LaTeX for
almost ten years.

The cleanest way would be a filter, probably
org-export-filter-quote-block-functions and filter-plain-text.
The easiest way would be a macro or simply redefining
org-export-smart-quotes-alist to suit your needs.
Hope it helps.
