I didn't realized that's how autoloads work. So they're "just in time" loads?

Part of my confusion was that some of those packages, like protocol, crypt, and id, are available through the customize interface (my preferred method of dealing with org-mode setup), but org-latex was not listed (nor org-install, but that seems reasonable to me).
