I believe that the issue you have outlined will depend on at least a couple
of things:

1. cloud-init version

You haven't stated the OS distro and versions you are currently using with
your instances while the doc links are specific to the latest version of
cloud-init (0.7.6 at the time of writing).  The 'power-state-change' module
appears to have been added in Nov 2012 (
https://code.launchpad.net/~smoser/cloud-init/finalcmd/+merge/134029) -
which should have been included in cloud-init 0.7.1, at least according to
the timeline on the Launchpad pages and my interpretation thereof :)

The reason I mention this is that I know that Ubuntu 12.04 LTS makes use of
cloud-init 0.6.3 and similar may be true for other OS distros/versions.

2. Inclusion in cloud-init config

While I would expect it to appear there by default (it does in Ubuntu 14.04
LTS), and assuming you are making use of cloud-init >= 0.7.1, the instance
should have an entry in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg (under the
'cloud_final_modules' section) for the 'power-state-change' module in order
for it to be considered during a run e.g.

# The modules that run in the 'final' stage
cloud_final_modules:
 - rightscale_userdata
 - scripts-vendor
 - scripts-per-once
 - scripts-per-boot
 - scripts-per-instance
 - scripts-user
 - ssh-authkey-fingerprints
 - keys-to-console
 - phone-home
 - final-message
 - power-state-change

Naturally, if the module is not included it will not be considered.

I hope that one of those is the pointer you were looking for.
