Yes, but see the comments below.

Hook variables are usually called `*-hook' (singular) or `*-functions'.
I think one uses `hook' when it's meant for users to be customized, and
`functions' when it's more some internal implementation detail.  IMO,
here it's the latter, so I'd go with `TeX-arg-document-functions' (TeX
instead of LaTeX to match the corresponding function).

Here I'd use `LaTeX-arg-usepackage-functions'.
