We need to deploy 2 websites :

https://in.example.org (Server in India)

https://usa.example.org (Server in the USA)

we will be defining the href-lang tag for both websites in the Sitemap.xml

However, I am not sure if I need geo routing when people in the USA search for "example.org"

We want that when users in USA search for example.org - they should head to the USA website https://usa.example.org whereas any user in the rest of the world search for example.org should head to the India website https://in.example.org

href-lang tag should work. However there is a catch.

Referring to this

For each URL follow the redirect of hreflang URL to see what the final destination URL is. If this final URL represents the correct language/region for this hreflang tag, replace the hreflang URL of this tag with this final URL. If the final destination URL is not the correct URL for this language/region, find the best URL for this one to replace it or remove the tag completely. In either case, whichever URL you choose for this hreflang tag, ensure you create a reciprocal hreflang tag on this page as well.
