Manual definitely covers both 1 and 2: it says

In order of preference, pandoc will look for Lua filters in

	• a specified full or relative path,

	• $DATADIR/filters where $DATADIR is the user data directory (see --data-dir, above).

I wouldn’t expect 3 to work.  If it does, that’s quite unexpected.  Can anyone else reproduce this?
