Except for the "PDF" in "PDFLaTeX mode" this looks like you are using
the default LaTeX mode of Emacs and not AUCTeX.

I'm not sure how this can happen, since `latex-mode-map' is defined in
tex-mode.el (the file for the built-in LaTeX mode).  So once the file is
loaded, it should be there.  Either your Emacs (or AUCTeX) installation
is broken or you are doing something nasty in your init file.

FWIW, in my case (CVS Emacs from trunk, CVS AUCTeX) key bindings are
displayed with `C-h m' with the LaTeX mode of both AUCTeX and Emacs.
