The vehicle is a Holden Jackaroo 1998 UBS SE (Australia), in America it would be an Isuzu of some kind. I'm just not sure if I need the motor to be running so that all the air can be extracted by the task. Any and all answers welcomed.

Yes have the motor running for the vac assist to work but also put tubing on the bleeders valve and into a jar or tin when the valve is bleeding it runs into the tin and stops air getting into the valve. ~~

No motor necessary if all the wheels are off and jack stands are on just open the bleeders and let gravity do the rest. I invert a bottle of brake fluid on top the brake resv. and walk around watching the four wheels drip into aluminium pie plates. Discard old fluids properly. Allow the fluid to drip till all that is running out is clear. Then I inlist the help of "a Mate" to pump the brakes up close the bleeders then have some one push the brale pedal crack open the bleeder pedal gos to the floor. close the bleeder have them pump all the way up and push down all the way up and down aproxmately 3 times hold pressure and bleed about three times per wheel. You do this bleeding in the order Isuzu wants. So call or go online to find out the bleeding order.

You don't absolutely need the engine on. You just need enough to push the air bubble (and fluid) out of the system. You don't need the full pressure of stopping a vehicle.
But if you have the engine running, you don't have to work as hard pumping the brake.

actually no, you just need someone pumping the breaks as you watch the fluid coming out intill there is no more air in th lines. but you got to watch the brake flued container and keep it full,
in any case having the car running would actually make the prosess move faster.

no! you can just open the bleeders and wait..... or have someone pump the brakes. Or they sell a cheap brake bleeder which does make things faster.
