Yes, that seems to be the case. The plugins in the "plugins" directory should
be built by default. The plugins builds enabled by
--enable-experimental-plugins are in "plugins/experimental". cacheurl was there
first (as usual) and was at some point promoted to a standard default plugin
but the documentation wasn't updated.

Yes, you can put it there. I find it a bit of an odd place to look, but that
does appear to be what the code does.
You can also pass the config file path as the first argument in the
plugins.config file for the plugin, e.g.
cacheurl.so jay-cacheurl.config
with the argument being interpreted as relative to the config file directory
(where records.config is). Or you can use an absolute path.

I haven't actually used this plugin, so I'm not sure but it seems reasonable.
You might try "http://(?:[[:digit:]]{1,3}){4}" as the leading part.
A couple of side notes -
1) The result must be syntactically a URL but it is, in the end, just a string
as far as the cache is concerned. So you could use a result like
"video://jay/$1&$2". This is what I have done in other efforts like this to be
sure to avoid any collisions with a real URL.
2) These requests appear to be range based requests. If you don't store the
range part as well, you may get some rather unexpected results when you read
the URL back from cache. That is, something with a query parameter of
"range=0-1500000" would match a URL the same tag and id and a range parameter
of "1500001-2000000".
