This is correct. As of 5.1, you can no longer call the report AFK function from any script or addon. oQ had a feature that allowed the group leader to report bots and others (players who actively worked against the group's objective) AFK.
If you had an oQ raid of 20 people, it would send a message to all the oQ raid members and would synchronously cause the entire oQ raid to report that person AFK. With 20 reports hitting at once, it would almost always cause them to get instant booted. This was extremely useful to remove bots and non-cooperative players (people who mindless capped the flag repeatedly when told not too, who were mostly likely bots).
Before this feature was added, we typically did a count-down method AFK report. This works, but wasn't effective as you had to start what you were doing focus on the countdown.
I'm guessing Blizzard did not like PVP raid leaders having this much power over non-players and protected this function. Regardless, the old count-down method still works just fine.
