I am relatively new to PFS play, in fact Gen Con this year will be my first society play, however i am an experienced non society player and was looking to have a few questions answered.
First off I have already decided i like the Orision faction, however alot of their additional quests or what have seem geared towards magical classes. I relatively play a rogue or something of that sort, will this put me at a disadvantage? Will the other Orision members not accept me?
Secondly i was wondering what all is different in society play vs normal play, except obviously the exclusion of house rules people may adopt as they play,and the equipment, feats, etc that they ban.

If you put a few ranks into Appraise I think you'll find the skill useful, since Osirions always seem preoccupied with precious gems.
Maybe take up a trait to learn Knowledge (History), too, since understanding the past is rather handy.
And I'd suggest learning Osiriani and Ancient Osiriani as well. Reading ancient hieroglyphics may be needed now and then.
All of those suggestions should be easy with a skill-heavy class like the Rogue.
Welcome to PFS!

If you want to go with a non-standard Tiefling option, the book Blood of Fiends is legal for Society. It contains other Tiefling bloodlines with different stat arrays that you may like.

No faction, including Osirion, is geared towards any particular class.
Their goal is Power through Knowledge, so your faction missions will be geared towards gathering knowledge. That's based on personality, not based on class. If you somehow don't want to do that, you might "not be accepted" by other Osirian characters, I suppose, but if you don't like the idea of Power through Knowledge, then you might have chosen the wrong faction to begin with.
Generally with your first character, you should stick to a core race rather than, say, a tiefling. You'd need the Advanced Race Guide to even legally play a tiefling. Start slow.
The Additional Resources page will show you what options are legal from what books, but as far as rules go, you'll need the Pathfinder Society Guide to Organized Play, which has most of everything you need to know.
