It's not currently possible to create a satisfactory plugin for Word on iOS, but we're in touch with Microsoft about the technical changes we'd need to make it happen, and it's something we hope to offer in the future.
Note that an upcoming version of the iOS app will add support for generating citations and bibliographies, but Microsoft doesn’t give us the tools we need to create a proper Word plugin on iOS.
As someone trying to move my academic life over to iPad, I would also appreciate a Zotero plugin for Word on iOS. Since you said to complain to Microsoft (and assuming that’s more than just a rhetorical statement), what exactly is necessary for this integration to take place? What should I be asking them for?
We've had some productive discussions with the Microsoft team and they will be adding the features necessary for a Zotero plugin in the current development cycle. Still, it will be some time before the features needed for Zotero will make it onto iOS Word and until we are able to create a plugin.
This is so good to hear, thank you! And thank you also for your continued work on this. Your efforts are highly appreciated, knowing full well that these developments take a huge amount of work and time.

Is there now a word plugin on iOS ? I can’t find it.
Thank you,
