It is called, there's just a lot of c-programming indirection.  I know that
CONNECT_TIME is available in in /etc/ppp/ip-down, although I can't verify
that it's available in /etc/ppp/auth-down since I don't authenticate any
peers.  Here's my /etc/ppp/ip-down script: 

#! /bin/sh
/bin/echo -n `date`"  " >> /var/log/connect-time
/bin/echo $CONNECT_TIME seconds >> /var/log/connect-time
