yes, just think if the sink overflows, the vent must be above that level

Flood level rim is considered to be the point at which a fixture will overflow with water from a clogged drain so in the case of a sink it is the top of the rim and a toilet the same.

I dont know if your area code allows for wet venting, but where i am a Vent can be configured to be a wet vent, and also

a horizontal Vent branch CAn be run but its connection point to a drain must be ABOVE the horizontal centerline of the drain to which it connects. It must also observe the dwv rules regarding slope and changes of direction as it is below flood rim and may occasionally be subject to hydraulic gradient surges. It MUST also be equipped with a accesiblle cleanout.

That is Here, it might not be kosher there.
