Yes, "" is equivalent to "omniORB4".

Yes.

The only difference that "omniORB3" makes is that it warns you that
you're using an obsolete version.

The intention within the CORBA spec is that by giving different ORB id
strings, you can create more than one distinct ORB. omniORB does not
support that, and is very unlikely to ever do so.
