I meant: what is the exact problem with my code (with examples and
expected output if possible)? It shouldn't be hard to fix.

Forget the lisp translation function. At this level, the function
operates on parsed data. It doesn't use any orgtbl-to-* function. Also,
even if the ATTR_LATEX keyword applies on the table, it also affects how
`table-row' elements and `table-cell' objects are transcoded.
The usual way to define a new transcoder in the new export API is to
create a derived backed using an alternative translation table. It is
easier than it sounds.

I suggest to use a :math-mode t. With this mode, all cells are treated
as raw math code (no transformation is made on any cell). A global
variable can also set it `org-export-latex-table-math-mode' (default to
nil).
Then, the :environment keyword can be set to "tabular", "longtable",
"tabularx", "tabulary", "bmatrix", "pmatrix", "vmatrix", "kbordermatrix"
or "qbordermatrix". "bordermatrix", "array"... It would default to
`org-e-latex-default-table-environment' (default to "tabular").

What is the variable ALIGN? You mean :align keyword? Do matrix
environments accept alignment? Also I haven't heard about starred
version of these. What do they do?

The backend never adds any usepackage automatically. It is a can of
worms (incompatibilities, order of packages...). It's the responsibility
of the user to do so.

Good idea.

Do all matrix environments accept a small counterpart?
