    IC means the recess housing can be in contact with the insulation, because the insulation will entrap the heat of the lamp without causing any combustion problems.

    I see no problem with the can being at least 3 inches away from the PVC duct, but best to check the installation instructions of the fixture, and the exhaust duct.
