It's easy to translate and rotate objects, but I'm looking for a method
to transform POINTS.
Ex. I declare a cube using the coordinates of its vertices, then I
transform all the vertices and I get a new object. I'm interested in the
coordinates of the new vertices. Is this possible in POVRay using a
matrix method?

You could always look up "matrix" in the manual?

This group is not the best place for such a question. Moreover look for posting
guyidelines in povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions.
