That's entirely up to you and your company. Do you have a CoE or some sort of Governance board or are you just doing this yourself? At a minimum you might want to speak with your IT organization about this.

You can supply a full file path to any dll file, provided all systems using that VBO can resolve the exact same path.

The DLL just needs to be in a place that all workers using the VBOs can see. You can either copy the file to each worker, or put it in a shared file location. 

The image below demonstrates using a combination of references, using the PATH available to the application (includes any references in system PATH settings and the same folder that the executable lives in), as well as a direct file path. Both are valid. The full path in the image happens to exist locally on all systems I've deployed this particular VBO on. You could, in theory, instead supply a path to a dll on a shared drive (IE: "R:\Path\To\Reference.dll"). But again, there is a potential for networked share drives to not be accessible until Windows (not Blue Prism) has had a chance to open the connection first, most reliably done via File Explorer.
