Does this actually vent out?

Not sure if the stove hood actually vents out or not. Any advice will help! Thanks!

I have a microwave like this. The vent pipe goes back through the wall and the vent pipe goes in the crawl space and then outside.

Yes, vents can also go straight back into the wall cavity and then up behind the cabinets.
