Octane texture and diffuse color are displayed in the Legacy viewport (but it is called Legacy for a reason
)
thankfully this also works in viewport 2.0,
but only if you use the "opengl" mode,
if you use "directX" or "opengl core profile" modes, nothing is displayed, every Octane Material is always grey.

Anyway even when color and texture are displayed, this is not usable for real production work:this was not properly implemented,
doesn't respect color management and textures are not even shaded...
So while waiting for this to be properly implemented,
I advise to override Octane material display in viewport 2.0 with Maya materials.
Look in the Help/tutorial section, in the "Overide Octane material display in viewport 2.0
" topic,you will find a very simple script to do that.
