Open MPI doesn't really do much file IO at all. We do a little during startup / shutdown, but during the majority of the MPI application run, there's little/no file IO from the MPI layer.
Note that the above statements assume that you are not using the MPI IO function calls. If your application is using MPI IO, then of course, Open MPI will do lots of file IO. My point: if your application isn't doing MPI IO, then your file IO is likely coming from somewhere other than Open MPI.
