Is (A*B)^2 interpreted as A*B*A*B or (A*B)*(A*B)?

These are mathematically equivalent. Do you mean, in what order are the operations performed?

Since 2x2 matrix multiplication is supported by the associative property, both of those interpretations are the same. This is similar to scalar multiplication.
