Difference in primer/bleeder pumps

I have a quick question. I recently retired an '84 300D that had the screw-type primer on the lift pump. The '82 240D that I replaced it with has the straight primer pump.

I really liked the screw-type style, which seemed to act also as a bleeder. It seems that this other style pushes air back to the fuel tank to bleed. Is this true?
