No, tangling does not run code blocks: it just writes them out to (one
or many) different file(s). org-babel-load-file calls
org-babel-tangle which is an autoloaded function, so when it is
called, emacs arranges to load the file that defines it
(i.e. ob-tange.el[c]). So you don't need to to (require 'ob-tangle)
separately. I presume the (require 'org) is also unnecessary because
you are loading the org-mode that is bundled with emacs which does that
automatically (but I haven't used the bundled org-mode in a long time,
so take this cum (the appropriately sized) grano salis).
