Only time it would make it to the rest of the engine is if some of the oil would get by-passed the filter, which isn't terribly uncommon, but... I just don't know.
Regardless, it is becoming apparent to me that I don't know enough to really help you out, and worse, may be spreading false information. I'll humbly bow out of this conversation and wish you the best.
