If we are talking about 4.5 Vault, it does pull from the scratch pool.   
3.4 Vault requires the preallocation.

(From the Vault Admin guide)

Note If you use a scratch pool, Vault will allocate volumes from the
scratch pool to the catalog volume pool if needed. However, Vault will not 
return expired catalog volumes back to the scratch pool because NetBackup 
never overwrites catalog media, even expired Vault catalog backup media. 
Vault returns expired catalog volumes back to the catalog volume pool.
