Nope, I think you're confused.

If I want to tag some really deep directory in my working copy, I
don't need to cd in there at all. It's optional. I can just specify
the deep wc path as the first argument to 'svn cp', or I can cd in and
specify '.' as the first argument. There's no difference.

Secondly, I can "copy" my wc directory to any location I want on the
server. The 2nd argument can be any old URL I want, shallow or deep.
It just depends on how I've laid out the server. Remember, a tag is
just an ordinary directory in the repository filesystem -- it could go
anywhere. (If this is news to you, read the design spec, or the end
of the "SVN for CVS users" doc.)
