That makes sense. It could also keep the rad from sucking the coolant back because the cap would keep air from entering the tank, thus creating a vacuum on the tank side.
Correct

since the factory setup places the can at, or slightly below the upper radiator tank level, and the siphon tube is below the fluid level of the upper tank[or core], i would guess it doesn't matter much
Siphon has very little to do with coolant recovery. It's pressure in the rad when it pukes, and it's vacuum in the rad when it cools.

siphon tube is just a name for the tube in the tank.
