Down 15, you have to have either a successful two-point conversion OR a successful onside kick. If you go for 2 early and fail, you need an onside kick. If you go for 2 late and fail, guess what? You need an onside kick.
It doesn't make a bit of difference when you try the 2-pointer. Try it early and succeed? Great, no onside kick. Try it late and succeed? Great, no onside kick. Try it early and fail? Bummer, you need an onside kick. Try it late and fail? Bummer, you need an onside kick. There's no difference.
The difference is if you try it sooner you know you need an onside kick and can play accordingly. Go for the conversion late and miss, you will likely have run out the rest of the game clock, decreasing your chances of winning.
