No. That line was there until a few years ago but was removed on
purpose in order to provide a new feature:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/auctex.git/commit/tex.el?id=d59628f1ee02abccc179c463214baddb5a17bf71

If `TeX-electric-math' is non-nil, when you press `$' with an active
region, it will wrap the selection with opening and closing inline
equation symbols. This is a feature AUCTeX provides, like for
parentheses in most other programming languages. If you want to lose
this feature and be able to delete the region when inserting a dollar,
then these lines in your init file
(setq TeX-electric-math nil)
(put 'TeX-insert-dollar 'delete-selection t)
should do the trick. Note that `TeX-electric-math' defaults to nil,
the first line shouldn't be actually needed.
Bye,
Mosè
