All Air con systems leak.
It doesn't need to be full of gas to be leak tested by vacuum. The system is vacuumed as part of the recharge process. Every system uses a different amount. They have to vacuum it all out before putting the correct amount back in. Vacuum testing is exactly the same as pressure testing only in reverse.
And by the way, I don't work for Kwik Fit.

a vacuum leak test will not pick up on small leaks as it is only vacuumed to -15 psi atmosphere pressure
when the system is pressure tested it is well over 15 psi this makes leak finding easy and saves gas from being wasted
And not all air con systems leak gas 95% of vehicles that do lose gas should have leaks repaired before refilling
