I dont think you can create the variation label using the CSOM. I think you need to use to the Powershell or c#. here is the blog:

He wrote the code for both C# and script for PowerShell.

1The answer has been downvoted since Iam pretty sure it is incorrect, I guess it is based only on googling..but it does not mean it could not be done. See for example this answer sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/88367/… Evidently the same approach could be applied for creating variation labels. Besides in SharePoint 2013 API was introduced Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Publishing namespace that contains VariationLabel class, if you are really interested, see for example msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh627977(v=office.12).aspx Commented Aug 25, 2014 at 12:59
