It always does.

No it doesn't.

I don't see how the fact that the script copies several large files
tells you anything about when the cd runs.
Remember that the working directory is a function of your current shell,
AND that every command make invokes is run in its own shell. So a
command like:
cd $(OBJ_DIR)
is a complete no-op, since as soon as this command is done the shell
will exit and there goes your working directory context.
