It should be in the man:

$ man zshoptions | grep -A 4 GLOB_SUBST
       GLOB_SUBST <C> <K> <S>
              Treat  any  characters  resulting  from  parameter
expansion as being eligible for file
              expansion and filename generation, and any characters
resulting from command  substitu‐
              tion  as being eligible for filename generation.  Braces
(and commas in between) do not
              become eligible for expansion.

$ grep -A 6 GLOB_SUBST Doc/Zsh/options.yo
pindex(GLOB_SUBST)
pindex(NO_GLOB_SUBST)
pindex(GLOBSUBST)
pindex(NOGLOBSUBST)
item(tt(GLOB_SUBST) <C> <K> <S>)(
Treat any characters resulting from parameter expansion as being
eligible for file expansion and filename generation, and any
characters resulting from command substitution as being eligible for
filename generation.  Braces (and commas in between) do not become eligible
for expansion.
)

Maybe you're using an outdated man?

Best regards,
