It does work, it took me a while to figure out how: we now need to change our custom .mat file name to match this schema:
missions/wide_background_en.mat (for widescreen)
missions/background_en.mat (for 4/3)

en/jp/de... is the gui country you choose in the setup menu, so you can create different .mat files, one for each option. Inside the .mat files you can link to any .tga file you like.

Correct! Sorry, I wasn't aware of the right naming myself. Thanks!
