Probably not. setq-default sets the default value of the variable whereas the hook is supposed to set the local value in order to override the default value: setting the default value from a hook seems backwards to me. Actually, I added the above code (*without* the TeX-mode-hook mod) to my minimal .emacs and opening org files does not generate any questions. Are you sure you have diagnosed the problem correctly?
