It's described by the README from upstream:

"6) To run your vst plugins:
   
      ./fsthost32 /path/to/someplugin.dll
   or
      ./fsthost64 /path/to/someplugin.dll"

IOW
      ./command option
translated it means
      path/to/fsthost* /path/to/someplugin.dll

The name is not fsthost it's fsthost{64,32} and it most likely
isn't in /usr/bin, so it requires to add the path.

Paths might be different for the filesystem hierarchy used by Arch
Linux, and Arch definitively doesn't split packages to bin, lib, devel,
but if you take a look at the PKGBUILD and at the snapshot's info file
and reading the websites comments, it might help you to transform this
to install it to Ubuntu, or better build a package, e.g. try
checkinstall instead of make install:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fsthost/
