I think this solution is not appropriate.
Even if you patch latex back-end, the rest of Org still doesn't
recognize the construct as a math snippet. So, this would be a mere
hack.
A correct solution would be to modify `org-latex-regexps' so math
snippets can be followed by a letter. But you may find yourself opening
a can of worm. Getting there regexps right is difficult, as can probably
testify Carsten.
IMO, I would call that an Org limitation. Org is not LaTeX, even if it
provides many LaTeX facilities. Also, the OP's problem can be solved in
many ways under Emacs. For example, I use "mt" (both "m" and "t" are on
my home row) as a snippet to insert "\(\)" in an Org buffer and put
point inside.
