gsch2pcb need not know the paths, either, it just outputs netlists
using the footprint= attributes of your schematic.
In PCB, you can use File->Preferences...->Library to set up your
libraries.

BTW, there is File->Import Schematics menu in recent versions
of PCB, which you can use to eliminate the gsch2pcb step.
