OpenBabel does not have any algorithm for determining the Cagn-Ingold-Prelog (CIP) priorities of atoms so is not able to assign R/S and E/Z labels. Implementing the CIP algorithm is hard to do efficiently and there are other superior algorithm to assign unique labels to atoms to decide if an atom is stereogenic (i.e. symmetry classes + rules). Also, CIP does not identify some cases of stereogenic enters. CIP priorities are mostly used for naming purposes only.
