When you install a .deb package it only installs to the fully-qualified paths inside the .deb file. It doesn't install anything to the current directory, so it doesn't matter where the .deb is located when you issue "dpkg -i" or "apt install ./file.deb" (I am not sure if it is even possible for a .deb file to contain a relative file path, but if it is, they typically don't.)
