Org-mode doesn't use reftex for its export. Unless that setting
actually includes the \bibliography{..} in the exported tex file, I
don't think that will have any effect. Actually in the docstring for
the variable I see it says:

  *List of BibTeX database files which should be used if none are
  specified. When `reftex-citation' is called from a document which has
  neither a `\bibliography{..}' statement nor a `thebibliography'
  environment, RefTeX will scan these files instead. Intended for using
  `reftex-citation' in non-LaTeX files. The files will be searched along
  the BIBINPUTS or TEXBIB path.

I think this *only* helps you insert the citations with reftex, you
still have to have that line in the tex file.

Hope this helps.
