Do all oil catch cans have a filter?

When you say blow by I would guess the excess would be put in the can by some amount of pressure. If there's no breather/or filter on the can it will just pressurize the container and it's hard to put excess fluid in a presurrized container, so I would think a filter or breather would be necessarry. ? ? ? ? ? ?
