No. A "vacated" judgment means that the court considers that the judgment never took place - is vacated - is rendered null and void. A "dismissed" judgment can be done two ways - "with prejudice" and "without prejudice." "Dismissed WITH prejudice" means that even if the facts presented are true the case is over and cannot be re-tried. "WITHOUT prejudice" means the same, EXCEPT, that the charges CAN be re-filed and the case re-tried.

In Civil Court can you move to oppose a Summary judgment and Move for dismissal at the same time?

Without getting into the specifics of the bases for a summary judgment motion and a motion for dismissal (and there are many and may differ among states), they can be made simultaneously because they are not directed to the same aspect of the case. The summary judgment motion is directed to the factual aspect of the case while a motion for dismissal is directed to the procedural aspect of the case. The summary judgment motion alleges that there are no genuine issues as to the material facts of the case and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. The motion for dismissal usually alleges that the other party has failed to abide by some procedural rule, the penalty for which is dismissal of the case. Two different theories. Opposition to a summary judgment motion indirectly requires some admission that there are facts that could go one way or another at trial. A motion for dismissal will allege that the other party has not done something required by the rules like providing discovery on time, or lack of prosecution of the case. Admitting that a jury could believe either side at a trial does not give up procedural reasons to dismiss the case.
