To understand, here 2 pictures, the same text, with ODT, and with XHTML produced with OpenOffice:
Epub Calibre with ODT:

Epub Calibre with xhtml:

Appearance is not the same one, the margins in particular (not to take account of space between paragraphs, it is an error which I did)

That's because the library used by OpenOffice to convert ODT to HTML is different from that used by calibre to convert ODT to HTML. Genrally speaking (though I haven't tested this) you should get better results converting from ODT to EPUB rather than from the exported HTML to EPUB.
