Not necessarily: the info inside the parens is generated through a git
command that makes an assumption about where the git directory is relative
to the lisp directory. If the assumption is violated, then the git command
fails and the extra info is not generated, despite having the latest org
version installed.
The assumption is that the following expression evaluates to the
git directory itself (the directory that contains the .git subdirectory):
(concat (file-name-directory (locate-library "org")) "../" )
In particular if you install the whole org lisp directory into the emacs
site-lisp directory, the assumption is violated.

I think this way avoids most of the problems: it allows one to customize
load-path and be *sure* that the correct org-version gets loaded and it
does eliminate the problem above.
