How do we dynamically register third party plugin for wwise 2016.1 with Unreal 4.12.4?

Question

Created an event in Wwise authoring tool. And generated soundbanks inside the Unreal project.  Played in the Unreal editor. I am able to hear the effect applied on the Wwise authoring tool even though i have not copied the third party .dll plug file anywhere in game project or inside the engine directory. But when i try to package it , it gives me error saying

"MainFrameActions: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): UnrealBuildTool: LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\4.12\Engine\Plugins\Wwise\Binaries\Win64\UE4-AkAudio.lib"

Is there any specific folder i should copy my plugin .dll file to?

Why is it playing the sound with correct effect even if  i have not copied .dll file anywhere inside the engine directory or game project directory.?

How do we register .dll plugin ?
