We use the abbreviation WC in german as well though. And chapel is Kapelle in german, so K not C. Also, according to wikipedia, the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayside_Chapel is located in australia. (In the joke it also sounds like a huge chapel. Most chapels can only hold like 5 persons.)

Yes, but has that always been the case? The joke might be old enough that this may not have been true in the time it is set in.
Germans use WC since the mid to late 1800s as far as I found out. I sort of doubt the joke is older than that but I could be wrong.
