You don't have to chdir anywhere, just run it.
The man pages says:
       If directory arguments are not given, fc-cache uses each  directory  in
       the  current  font  configuration.   Each directory is scanned for font
       files readable by FreeType.  A cache is created which contains  proper-
       ties  of  each font and the associated filename.  This cache is used to
       speed application startup when using the fontconfig library.
So it must look at your X config file & finds out where the font directories 
are from that.
