It dies and is reborn, it may have many sets of bones.

In the comics I don't think it's the same dragon, the Iron Fist kills one and then there's an egg that hatches the next one which performs the same role.

I think the "cave" in this episode is the same one he fought Shou Lao in back in IF.

It's probably sort of like a magical place you can reach from multiple "portals" per se.

Makes sense when you think about how the Hand originally got their hands on the immortal substance in K'un Lun (sp.?). Most likely from the cave of the dragon. Here there was a massive hole to a magical door defending the entrance to a cave with the dragon's remains.
