Require will load a feature-providing file if that feature hasn't already been provided. Emacs does not just "remember to load it" at that point - it actually loads the file if needed. Because loading takes time, you will only want to run "require" on demand. (The other mechanism to achieve this is to define an `autoload'.) Different considerations apply when developing preloaded core (e.g. for GNU Emacs proper). However, I would define a function, give it a name and put that into the hook - adding an anonymous function makes things harder to manage (cf `remove-hook').
