The situations in which LaTeX commands will work are the following:
* expanding to html, maybe using --iftex and using latex2html to
  expand @math, @displaymath (and @tex).  Or using tex4ht, but setting
  in a perl init file 
   $Texinfo::TeX4HT::STYLE_MATH = 'latex' 
  and
   $Texinfo::TeX4HT::STYLE_TEX  = 'latex'
  In the next release, that would be with -c HTML_MATH=l2h or -c HTML_MATH=t4h
* expanding to html and using mathjax with -c HTML_MATH=mathjax

However that's the only output format and only situations in which LaTeX
commands will work, so it is not really documented anywhere, only TeX 
commands are documented to work, because they work with texi2pdf and in
the situations descibed above too.
