My impression is that a cache is only useful if it is on the same

Have I got that right?
A cache is most useful with hard linking, because it reduces the overall
space requirements for storing multiple related repositories.
However, the first task of the cache is for darcs to use it to avoid
re-downloading pristine and patch files that it has already downloaded.
Even without hard linking, a local file copy is still going to be quite
a bit faster than a network download.
