Not strictly answering your question. But is tangentially related ...

The excerpt pasted below is from org-special-blocks.el. I am not much
familiar with LaTeX. I hope these special blocks could be used for
achieving the desired resutls.

Also there is a way to wrap a block of text in custom divs in case of
HTML exporter.

| ;; (require 'org-special-blocks)
| 
| ;; The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed previously.
| ;; This package generalizes them (at least for the LaTeX and html
| ;; exporters).  When a #+begin_foo token is encountered by the LaTeX
| ;; exporter, it is expanded into \begin{foo}.  The text inside the
| ;; environment is not protected, as text inside environments generally

| ;; with class foo is inserted into the HTML file.  It is up to the
| ;; user to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to
| ;; mean anything.
