Absolutely. Water is the enemy and one must keep it out or there will be problems.

The problem there is failure of the roofing, not failure of the OSB.

I should note that the shower house at camp is OSB and 2x4s. Until last year it 
had insufficient overhang on the roof (first roof I ever designed and built 
myself) and although the back wall had been wet for maybe 4 years its only 
discolored, hasn't even bowed.
I need to get some paint on it, maybe this year...

I've heard of premature roof failures due to advantek use where roofing nail perforates the coating. Advantek is made from OSB. When OSB gets wet, it fails.
