I suppose not, if it is part of the plot for Avengers 2 he wont reveal that.

Well MCU has already proved they are not far from altering and adding things to the Infinite Stones powers :) Tesseract controls Space, creates wormholes and portals across cosmos. Yet humaniy is more or less not aware of this too much, instead that it is source of energy to either power thw planet or to make super-effective weapons. Which has nothing to do with transportation across space :)

And I watched the part when the portal for Chitauri Army was created, and I found out not even with this the Scepter has got anything to do with. It was purely Tesseract, stolen irridium and the device made by Dr.Selvig. Not even Loki's arrival, that was orchestrated by Loki by controlling Selvig into creating the portal for Loki to come... so they are probably aware of its space-travel capability... but the control was made purely by Loki's powers of magic, not of the Scepter Gem, that was made later. Humanity dont even knows that there are connections between Tesseract and Aether, that there is something called "Infinite Stones". Thy dont understand this, so thats why they assume Scepter Gem has similar energy as Tesseract. :)
