When run from cmd or ps with output (encoding) set to UTF-8,
the utility still outputs in ANSI. And therefore the characters are not displayed.
Same thing if output to a file, it gets ansi encoding.

For cmd it works like this:
chcp 65001
wxFileDialog.exe "" . "Open Me"

Result with Cyrillic file name: Z:\ .txt

Same in PS:
[Console]::InputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding('utf-8')
& .\wxFileDialog.exe "" "." "Open Me"

Result with Cyrillic file name: Z:\ .txt

If you set cmd chcp 866 or PS [Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding('cp866')
then instead of Cyrillic characters are hieroglyphs. That is, the output does not match.
It's not just about Cyrillic, but in general this problem of one encoding output.
