You're correct on the graphics support.
The only graphics in the VT100/VT101/VT102 were the DEC graphics line
drawing set -- if you can call that graphics.

How is it possible to draw full-screen photo images on a VT320 & 420 then?
Obviously they're 1-bit color and it takes a few minutes but it has been done.
Must have some sort of graphics capability. I recall reading in the manuals that
there was the sixel capability enabled with a particular escape sequence.
The same photo image would appear in 4-bit color on the VT340. Takes longer to
render.
Could do the same on a plasma touch terminal (forgot the name) emulating
VT100/102, as well.
