The bootstrap process will prepend the prefix (/usr) to several
arguments, like what's given to --mandir. Another example is
--docdir and --datadir, the prefix is prepended to what is given to
those parameters.

So the instructions are correct. You can refer to
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/cmake/-/blob/main/PKGBUILD
which does the same thing. Going to
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/cmake/ and seeing the
package contents, the contents are installed in the right locations.
