Actually, that's not true. Org is creating the latex with the
appropriate (left/right) quotes in place. Latex expects this. In a
latex file, you need have written ``a quoted string'' instead of "a
quoted string" for things to look right in the output.
So it is indeed org's latex exporter that is handling quotes appropriately.
