Well in general it's something like:

location ~ ^/(.*)/v2/  {
        proxy_pass http://app.domain.com/api/$1/v2;
}

Depending on if there are other url parts and/or variables the other way 
would be just to use rewrite within matching location block (or just globaly 
if every request is proxied). For example:

location /users/v2/  {
    rewrite ^/(.*)/v2/ /api/$1/v2 break;
    proxy_pass http://app.domain.com;
}
