Hi coffeebean,
The dryer vent connection space is recessed into the wall. As a result the connection between the dryer and the outside vent pipe "takes place" primarily inside the interior wall. I can't easily take a picture but if you happen to be looking at new homes you will see how it is currently done.
Here is a Google link that shows pictures of this connection method.
Hope that answers your question. :thumb up:
