It's not a bug in the exporter, but a problem in Octane. It will be fixed with the next test release planned this week.

Forgot to mention: What you can do in the meantime is specify the focus distance in the export plugin, which will then export it to Octane to use the right focus.

Thanks for the answer...
How can I find the focus distance?

In the export plugin it's called "Focal Depth".

OK
But How can I find the number I need to put in Focal Depth

Either somehow in Maya (I don't know Maya) or by waiting for beta 2.48, which will do that for you

Aha,
Octane calculates the distance by build the square root from the length of the subtract result vector camera to vector target.
Clever, nice new feature

@michaelkk
You can also use the formular to calculate the distance in maya.
Maybe as expression...
