No, it's the exporter itself that adds the \tableofcontents - or not:
with
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
\tableofcontents will not be generated.
In any case, in the same way that you can add something to the preamble
with #+LaTeX_header, you can add something to the document with
#+LATEX. The trick is to add it first thing so that it goes right after
the \tableofcontents:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+LATEX: \listoffigures
* foo
foo "a b c" bar
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
should work.
