Actually is is quite a lot different.
The OOo version you get from the openSUSE repository is based on the
Go-OO build of OOo. This version has, as you pointed out several
extensions included, but in addition to that, it also has a long list of
patches and changes applied which are not included in the core OOo.
These differences include things like different interface features
different/additional file import/export filters, different VBA support,
different way of handling password protected spreadsheets, and a whole
bunch of other things. It is a lot more than the 11 extensions you
referenced, and as a result does behave differently.
Sometimes bugs pop up that are very specific to this build of OOo that
do not affect the core OOo... that is why Ariel asked the very
legitimate question about trying the version from the OOo website
