The reservoir (oil tank) need not be pressurized for a true dry-sump configuration. For instance, all air-cooled 911 cars do not sport a pressurized oil tank.
What's needed is an oil reservoir to scavenge the return oil and feed it to the oil pump.
The pressurized setup, like the Accusump, is intended for retrofitting an otherwise wet-sump system to somewhat cure oil starvation.
