Yeah you are right, the passenger side is ported to manifold vacuum.

OTOH Really funny ones are the toyota 2AZ where some mechanics break/cut the ventilation baffle under the oil fill cap (youtube videos of this exist too) - and wonder why its sludging up in the lower end. Without the baffle guide air goes in from one side of the valve cover, makes a U turn and out the back of it.
