my conclusion came from the fact that hitting 'C-h v' with the cursor

ever happened to me. I did try to explicitly enter the variable's
name by entering 'org-goto<TAB>', which (like 'org-go<TAB>') is not
enough: it is completed to 'org--goto'.
I was confused by similar behavior as well, see
Maxim Nikulin to emacs-orgmode. Bug? C-h v in src block since org-9.4.

I think, help completion should include arguments of
`register-definition-prefixes' from loaddefs files (till the related
package is loaded), even if it may give some variants that has no
functions or variables defined in a library. `customize-variable' should
be consistent with describe-variable in respect to autoloading and
completion option.
Alain, are you motivated enough to search in emacs bug tracker and in
emacs-devel mailing list archives if such options were considered? From
my point of view it is better to improve completion than to modify the
Org Manual just for org-goto. Feel free to add me as X-Debbugs-CC if you
decide to create a feature request or a bug.
