The dipstick tube is essentially part of the crankcase so vacuum should be same. By "vacuum break" I mean an extremely small difference to allow the tube to drain and create a slight resistance to pressure going back up.

A way to explain it backwards would be just enough pressure in the dipstick drain tube to force the oil down to just before a bubble happens
