You have to pass it manually because there isn't option for this in VLC yet. If you look how the loopfilter option is implemented, you should be able to figure out how to pass the threads option to libavcodec. (it might also require some changes to source code)

Divx 7.0 decoder is multithreaded. Same for CoreAVC (it also supports GPU decoding by using CUDA).
