You are absolutely correct! The vortex in the airflow at the rear of the car causes dirt to be sucked back onto the rear deck and fascia. Wash top to bottom, front to back so the worst concentration of grime doesn't contaminate the water in the bucket too early in the process

What dou guys mean by the "vortex in the airflow" I know MB has the patented design of the vented rear taillights, but what does it really do for our cars?

Any object moving through the air will create some turbulence behind it which will create some vacuum. That phenomenon is usually in a circular pattern called a vortex...sort of like a "jelly roll" of air coming off the decklid:
