\transposition is relevant but maybe not the way you are thinking.
(See my answer to this thread.)

\quoteDuring and cueDuring do use \transposition

oboeNotes = { }

\addQuote qoboe \transpose c c, \oboeNotes

clarinetNotes = {
  \transposition bes
  ...
  \quoteDuring qoboe s1 %will quote the oboe an octave lower
                        % correctly transposed
  ...
}
