That should not be needed for packages provided by your LaTeX
distribution. Those should be found automatically using kpathsea. What
does
C-x C-e (TeX-macro-global) RET
return? For me, on a GNU/Linux box with TeXLive, it returns
("/usr/share/texmf/tex/" "/usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/"
"/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/" "/usr/share/texmf-dist/bibtex/bst/")
which are the directories where TeXLive put its packages.
I guess in your case it returns the default value
("/usr/share/texmf/tex/" "/usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/")
which is not applicable to your installation nor OS. If that's the
case, it indicates that AUCTeX couldn't call kpsewhich in order to query
your TeX distro's paths. So make sure that it is on your PATH.
As an example,
$ kpsewhich -expand-path '$SYSTEXMF'
should return something like
/var/lib/texmf:/usr/share/texmf:/usr/share/texmf-dist
of course with paths matching your system and TeX installation
