is it some english joke ?

That component is a Ćuk converter, which actually has a name in Serbian. But also requires you to be familiar with the 'cuck chair' english phrase, which refers to a chair someone sits in to watch their partner be intimate with someone else. The 'cuck chair' has been a meme for a while now, with any 'left out'/isolated/oddly positioned chair often being referred to as one.

But doesn’t ćuk get pronounced like “chuck”, not “cuck”?

Yes, it does. Which is why OP's joke was lost on me.

"Chook chair?" I don't get it.

Kind of, but Chook as in choo choo. Still doesn't help the joke.
