Calling 

,--------------------------
| M-x org-org-export-as-org
`--------------------------

on this org buffer

#+begin_src org
#+OPTIONS: toc:2

* A
** A1
** A2
* B
** B1
** B2
#+end_src

yields this 

,---------------------------------
| # Created 2014-04-01 Di 00:28
| #+TITLE: tmp<7>
| #+AUTHOR: Thorsten Jolitz
| #+OPTIONS: toc:2
| 
| * A
| ** A1
| ** A2
| 
| * B
| ** B1
| ** B2

| # Emacs 24.3.1 (Org mode 8.2.5h)
`---------------------------------

so unfortunately exporting with toc does not seem to be implemented in
ox-org.el, but maybe you'll get better advice.
