Octane Smoothing only works if the Octane geometry has normals. Poser is a little different to all the other Octane host apps, in that it always supplies scene geometry with valid normals (whereas a lot of others don't). So the default is smoothing "ON' (because there are certain to be normals).
If your object looks "unsmoothed" it must be because Poser has provided unsmoothed normals to Octane. This would happen if you have "smooth" turned off for that prop, or the "crease angle" is too low - so check those first. It may also be a case of too few polygons in the mesh, in which case Ericks subdivider solution is the way to go.
