That's a problem in the docs: it should be noted more clearly that the
format extensions are taken from the format, not from the ReaderOptions.
Try with

pandoc.read('$2^a$', 'markdown-tex_math_dollars')

or (with pandoc 3)

md = {
format = 'markdown',
extensions = {tex_math_dollars = 'disable'}
}
pandoc.read('$a$', md)
