No impact. The code is initialised each time you load org. If you start
Emacs and then install TeX/LaTeX (including latexmk), you would have the existing default
until the next time you start Emacs, at which time the default will be
set to latexmk. 

This 'pattern' of setting a value based on code which selects an
appropriate value based on what is on the system is already used
extensively in Emacs.
