Well yes it does as the ACVS rotates.
If you look at the diagram that you linked to.
The system is, oil pressure is switched by the solenoid to a feed that goes into the head casting to feed the front cam bearing, the cam has a hole in it, that connects by a drilling through to the front of the cam, to the ACVS. Bit of machining on the cam shaft, and some oil passages drilled in the head, not insurmountable.
