First, we have to be careful because the cdlatex keys occupy a precious
key.

Second, it depends on the cdlatex function in question.
cdlatex-math-symbol-alist already works outside of fragments and it
probably should as it can be used to insert entities, such as "β".

On the other hand, cdlatex-math-modify probably only makes sense inside
fragments.  It is used to change characteristics of already inserted
entity, e.g. make a character bold.  That typically only makes sense
inside a math environment of some sort.  Add to this, that something like
"\mathbf{x}" isn’t "correctly" exported via ox, (it should then produce
"$\mathbf{x}$").  So cdlatex-math-modify should only work inside latex
fragments IMO.
