By default you only see branches that you have checked out or copied 
locally.  You need to look under remotes/origin to see remote branches, 
and they are not updated until you do a Fetch/Pull.

(This is the same with command-line git.  It is also possible to 
configure git to only fetch specific remote branches, but it's harder to 
do that from TortoiseGit alone so you have to be actively trying to do 
it, so this is unlikely to be your issue.)
