From the source code comment:
> Path to the JSON file with metadata definition for the block or path to
the folder where the `block.json` file is located.
From [https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/block-
api/block-metadata/ docs]:
> `$block_type (string)` – path to the folder where the `block.json` file
is located or full path to the metadata file if named differently.
Both of these sound like you could do
`register_block_type_from_metadata(__DIR__.'/custom-block.json', [])`. But
this actually just ends up trying to test if `DIR/custom-
block.json/block.json` exists.
