Why would it have NOT made a difference. Whether it was leaking prior or he just let it run too long prior to igniting it, the alarm would have sounded and alerted them to a problem. A problem which we can assume they were not aware of beforehand.
The propane that exploded could have been contained within the stove. When he put flame in to light stove it ignited. At that point, there might not have been any escaped to trigger the alarm.
I agree that most definitely a working alarm is essential but we have no idea if it would've made a difference in this situation or not. We don't know if they had a working LP alarm or not.
