The latest stable release of Emacs is 24.3.1, which does not contain Org version 8? Therefore, using Org 8 requires (manual) installation? I am using a modified version of Emacs on Mac, with ESS and other packages pre-installed. This version has Org 7.9.3 though :(

This is because Emacs 24.3.1 was released before Org 8 was released. Org
8 will ship with the next release, Emacs 24.4. Alternatively you can
update to Org 8 via elpa. (M-x list-packages).

Turns out it only took a few minutes, with everything explained here: http://orgmode.org/elpa.html :)

As an aside, where does the "sub-minor" version number for Emacs originate?
I'm running 24.3.1 and the next release is 24.4. However, even though I
can't find any information about 24.3.2, a search of this list for "24.3.2"
returns results...

You may have answer on the emacs-devel@ mailing list for this.
