I have that same vacuum pump and same documentation with a different brand name (Frenos Iruna Brakes from Spain). Yes, the vacuum switch does provide a ground (via the Tee body) that activates the relay with their wiring arrangement. I don't know why you would need to override the vacuum switch though because the way they have it plumbed and wired it will be running a lot on its own. I ended up doing what Dave Lenzi recommends and having the vacuum switch (using his adjustable one) essentially measuring the vacuum inside of the booster (by disabling the normal check valve) and having the pump itself on the other side of an inline check valve. His booster has two vacuum ports which make that a lot easier.
