Not quite: there is still an emulation of the old mechanism if you

(require 'org-tempo)

which Vladimir probably does. That modifies the following hook:

,----
| org-tab-before-tab-emulation-hook is a variable defined in ‘org.el’.
| Its value is (org-tempo-complete-tag)
`----

The hook is run close to the end of org-cycle (which is bound to TAB). So
when you type

<sTAB

org-cycle runs through all the possibilities, fails on all of them, runs
the hook and org-tempo-complete-tag is evaluated, which expands the <s.
