You are doing everything right, it's just that the pandoc version
shipped by Ubuntu is too old for this. The `pandoc.path` module is a
relatively recent addition that became available in pandoc 2.12,
released about a year ago. You can install a current version with the
help of the *deb* packages published on the official pandoc release
page: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/latest

Alternatively, you could use a Docker image that suits your needs, e.g.,
<https://hub.docker.com/r/pandoc/core>, but the .deb installer is
probably easier.

HTH,

PS: This is also a shortcoming of the filter: it would be better if the
  filter was checking the pandoc version, returning a meaningful error
  message if the version is too old. I'll go and fix that.
