No, it means the package has not been loaded yet. 

The default setting for most packages has been recently changed to 

Autoload: no

The link that Carnë sent in his email explains why having too many "autoload"
packages is not a good idea.

From the output you showed, openmpi_ext seems to have been installed
correctly on your system, you just need to load it.

To this end do:

pkg load openmpi_ext

to test whether it works correctly, set the environment variables NUMBER_OF_MPI_NODES 
and HOSTFILE before running Octave and then do:

pkg load openmpi_ext
demo helloworld

Thanks again for your feedback.

HTH,
