I am documenting on automating installation of pgaudit extension for

pgaudit.control and pgaudit--1.2.sql needs to be present is

/usr/share/postgresql/10/extension.

How do I know beforehand where the dir path is ?

That would depend on the O/S, but it is not really necessary to know the path, as PostgreSQL will know it.
Simply establish a connection to the database you want to create the extension in and do
CREATE EXTENSION extention_name;

wish to share my fantasy is entirely up to you.
