And the head doesn't get its oil source from that passage anyway. There are 2 ports coming up from the block through the 2 head studs in the middle of the block and up into the camshaft oil squirters.

Study the engine and think about it before you come up with these conclusions.

If you don't want to listen to me, that's cool but you are thinking way too far and wasting you're time. If it makes you feel better, take your head to a welder and have him weld up the oil pressure hole for VTC. Waste of money and time imo. Or just go find a used VTC solenoid and put it back. I believe that solenoid is normally closed so if that solenoid is in there, it should keep oil from flowing through it.

x2, def way over thinking it. The main holes that file the oil squirters are a inline with holes in the block, they added the hole for the VTC, it should have no effect on you oil squirters for your cams, and the rest of the valve train.
