It only Meteors on the first frame of it's hitbox. See:
  1. Dair
  2. Frame 10-10: 10% 20b/80g (KO@ 317%) 270° 2.0-Hitlag Aerial-Target-Only
  3. Frame 11-14: 8% 20b/100g (KO@ 218%) 361°
It's a timing issue more then anything. The hitbox is somewhere from his hands down, so that is a good frame of reference for where to hit. To get it to combo out of a throw, your timing has to be spot on and it might not be a true combo out of it. It seems to depend on character.

More specific scenarios would help, too. Like, when and where are you trying to hit it?

Getting the grab on the ledge is very beneficial in getting Luigis Dair spike. His D-throw has an interesting property that has a smaller amount of knock back when on the edge, which sets Luigi up for a nice SH Dair. And going off of what Pyr said there is a lot of timing that goes into it.

It only spikes characters that are in the air and directly under you
