No - C-h f add-to-list RET says:

So you can either reverse the order, or you can say

  (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/org-mode/contrib/lisp" t) 

which will add it to the end of the list.

The two methods are not equivalent, mind you, but in either case the org
lisp directory will be found before the org contrib lisp directory.

And check with C-h v load-path RET afterwards to make sure that
things are as they should be.
