I seem unable to find an option which would tell Pandoc to use, for the export, the citation text as provided by Pandoc Reference List?

There’s two ways to go about this. Either you use the built-in citeproc (citation processing) provided by Pandoc by supplying the necessary arguments: --citeproc, --bibliography and --csl (citation style language). This will convert your citekeys into properly formatted citations in plain text, according to the style language you specified.

Or - and this is what I recommend - you can use a filter provided by the maintainer of the Better Bibtex to convert the citekeys into formatted and editable citations in your ODT document.

You’ll find the needed filter here: Markdown/Pandoc :: Better BibTeX for Zotero

If the instructions linked above are insufficient, see my walkthrough here:

Exporting with citations

If the citekeys remain as citekeys, then you haven’t implemented my suggestions. So, although you switched plugin, you’re still facing the same issue of a missing bibliography. --citeproc can’t do anything without a bibliography. These plugins are both just scaffolding for Pandoc. What you need to do doesn’t change (much) because of the scaffolding, because it’s still Pandoc behind the scenes. Of course, it might vary how you specify the arguments. The “Extra arguments” field is just a conv…
