In vanilla Emacs, org-odt-data-dir should be nil.

,----
| (defvar org-odt-data-dir nil
|   "Data directory for ODT exporter.
| Use this to infer values of `org-odt-styles-dir' and
| `org-export-odt-schema-dir'.")
`----

The style files will be picked from the 'system' (see below).

,----
| (defconst org-odt-styles-dir-list
|   (list
|    (and org-odt-data-dir
|       (expand-file-name "./styles/" org-odt-data-dir)) ; bail out
|    (eval-when-compile
|      (and (boundp 'org-odt-data-dir) org-odt-data-dir ; see make install
|         (expand-file-name "./styles/" org-odt-data-dir)))
|    (expand-file-name "../etc/styles/" org-odt-lib-dir) ; git
|    (expand-file-name "./etc/styles/" org-odt-lib-dir)  ; elpa
|    (expand-file-name "./org/" data-directory)        ; system
|    )
|   "List of directories to search for OpenDocument styles files.
| See `org-odt-styles-dir'.  The entries in this list are populated
| heuristically based on the values of `org-odt-lib-dir' and
| `org-odt-data-dir'.")

ps-1: Recent changes to Make targets in Org repo touches
`org-odt-data-dir'.  I have not reviewed these changes closely.

ps-2: I have taken deliberate decision to stay out of Org-mode
development and the mailing list.  Any bugs in the ODT exporter in
vanilla Emacs will be promptly addressed (as long as it comes via
debbugs or other Emacs mailing lists)
