If you're replying to a five year old thread(!), some context would be
handy. For reference:
https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/latest/plugins_in_modules.html

Yes, in the agent's libdir, under augeas/lenses/.

Yes. The agent directory is specified as an include directory to Augeas,
which always has precedence over Augeas' default directories.

Custom facts from Puppet are read only when the additional agent
directory is included (i.e. with Facter's -p flag). Lenses work in a
very similar way - they are not installed globally.
