Seems not that strange for me.

git blame says,

org-mobile.el, where it's defined, started 2009-09-15

So vendors might not have it, it's not distributed yet maybe.

If distributed, (require 'org-macs)
isn't needed BTW, because org.el already requires it then.

So my recommendation is just to load the git-version:

git clone git://repo.or.cz/org-mode.git
