Yes, when you use Org-mode together with remember, the
buffer is actually in Org-mode, to make it easier
to use org-mode specific stuff.  However, remember first puts
the buffer into remember-mode, therefore the hook is run.

I am not sure why things don't work.  Take a look at the variable
`remember-mode-hook'.  What is its value?
