it is true if the vacuum is perfect - i.e. if there are no molecules of air at all present in some enclosed space - but perfect vacuums are not common place.
now if, for example, you suck the tip of your finger to create a vacuum inside your mouth (so your cheeks are concave) then you haven't expelled all of the air so sound can still travel in that small space. sound just needs some air molecules to compress together in order to be able to travel.

I did not qualify the word in any way, so what you posted was totally irrelevant.
You described my argument as a common misconception, then the next thing you said was that it was true. Whether a perfect vacuum is commonplace is neither here nor there.
