Try:
    libgstplugin_la_CXXFLAGS = $(GST_CFLAGS)

> libgstplugin_la_LIBADD = $(GST_LIBS) $(GST_BASE_LIBS) $(GSTCTRL_LIBS)
> libgstplugin_la_LDFLAGS = $(GST_PLUGIN_LDFLAGS)

The CFLAGS variable is used for C sources, and CXXFLAGS for C++
sources. The libgstplugin_la_* variables apply to the libgstplugin.la
target.

You already have:
    PKG_CHECK_MODULES([GST], [...])
    AC_SUBST(GST_CFLAGS)
    AC_SUBST(GST_LIBS)
(as it works with the C sources) so you don't need to change anything there.

NOTE: Since the GStreamer library is a C library, it generates a
CFLAGS variable. The PKG_CHECK_MODULES prepends the first argument to
it with an _ at the end (GST in the above example). The
AC_SUBST(variable) searches for all occurrances of variable in the
source files for AC_CONFIG_FILES and replaces it with the content if
the variable.
