No, I don't think there is completion.  The docs of the CVS development
version also don't have that statement anymore.

,----[ (info "(reftex)Creating Citations") ]
| 4.1 Creating Citations
| ======================
| 
| In order to create a citation, press `C-c ['.  RefTeX then prompts for
| a regular expression which will be used to search through the database
| and present the list of matches to choose from in a selection process
| similar to that for selecting labels (*note Referencing Labels::).
