Should be fine, corosync has a different message, something like:
Aug 27 09:05:34 pcmk-1 corosync[1540]: [MAIN  ] Corosync Cluster
Engine ('1.1.0'): started and ready to provide service.

Conceptually openais is an extra set of modules for corosync.

So when you start corosync by itself, it doesn't know to start the openais bits.
When you start openais, it starts corosync _and_ tells  it to load the
extra modules (and, IIRC, tells it to use the old openais.conf file
too).
