Nope that's it,if you have no signal from the switch then you have no park release at the shifter.

Arnald might be your leader over there but I never thought his speaking ability rubbed off so easy.

The vac switch you located is likely your auto emergency brake release.  Set your emergency brake while the car is off.  Start your car and then put the transmission in gear.  The emergency brake should retract on its own if your car is equipped with this feature.
