Is a catch can for the benefit of cooling the oil before it recirculates?
Believe only what you think, not what you feel.
A:

No, the only benefit to a catch can is to prevent oil deposits from building up in an intercooler, which will plug it up and restrict airflow. It just helps to remove oil from the intake air, which gets mixed with the air via the PCV system or the EGR to a lesser degree.
