Emacs-29.0.50, but I don't think this has changed for a long time.

Yes, that's the code.

The above code looks for chars with the "parenthesis syntax" according
to the major mode's syntax-table.  I.e. the same info used by
`show-paren`.

I'm using Emacs's built-in `latex-mode`.  Maybe you're using a different
major mode which doesn't give paren syntax to the braces?

Check the "syntax:" info give by `C-u C-x =` when your cursor in on a brace.
