No. If you purchase a .org you can put whatever you would like on your site as you are the rightful owner of the domain.
Anyone can purchase a .org domain. You might be thinking of .edu domains, which do require that you are an accredited institution to own one.
The name of your domain, nor it's suffix (The .org, .com, etc), will not effect your actual website. But it will, sometimes, tell users what your website is about, or what it does. The domain suffix "org" was intended for use by organizations, such as charities, as "com" was intended for commercial use (Although "com" has become the popular domain suffix name - It's intention has likely demolished). But don't be fooled - Any website may use "org" or "com" freely. Having an "org" suffix on your domain does not require you to have a organization of any sort, and so on.
.com is typically for a commercial website, .org is for nonprofit organizations, .gov is for government sites, .net is typically a privately held but usually publicly accessible site
The domain name is the part of the URL of a site that includes the site's name (example: answers) and the suffix indicating what kind of organization it is (.com for commercial). Another example is: name (wikipedia) and suffix (.org for nonprofit organization.)

The "org" extension was created by the DNS to differentiate between nonprofit organizations and commercial entities which were given "com". Today, anyone can apply to use "org". It is not necessary but helpful to get an org website. Once a name has been applied for, it cannot be used by anyone else.
