is rumored to have said:

My questions are:

1. Why was the magic value of "ORIGINATING" used in the Digital Ocean example ?

It's not 'magic' but it is the value that Postfix uses as an example in master.cf.

2. Can I allow the default value of: milter_macro_daemon_name to be used _WITHOUT_ affecting OpenDKIM and ClamAV ?

That depends on what you want to do with those milters.

If you want to handle incoming (smtp) and outgoing (smtps and/or sumbission) mail differently in your milters, you need a way for the milters to tell the difference. The ${daemon_name} macro is the usual way for a milter to make that differentiation. It is almost certain that you want OpenDKIM to deal with inbound and outbound mail differently (signing or verifying.) Using the default value of milter_macro_daemon_name for all of the smtp-like services that use milters eliminates the ability of your milters to make that differentiation. Check the documentation of your milters for details.
