In tutorial it is suggested that to order some part number to work with DX100 CONTROLLER: [..] What is use of this part number?

It's not actually suggested, it's a requirement.

From motoman_driver: Requirements:

However, for DX100 controllers, a specific software option must be explicitly ordered from Motoman in order to enable ROS-Industrial integration (see the MotoPlus Runtime License section below).

The MotoPlus Runtime License section then shows this:

The license enables the controller to run a MotoPlus application, with MotoPlus being the SDK in which MotoROS is written.

Is it sufficient if I only load MotoROS binary in controller?

No -- as I hope is clear now -- as that would not allow you to actually run it.

For that you'd need the license as well.
