More likely it is the sending unit. I'd replace that first.
Could a sensor be the reason the oil light is flashing in the dashboard?
Yes. It could be the oil pressure sending unit. It is the plastic unit near the front of the car near the oil filter. It is a greenish color on my 99 stratus. i had mine looked at and that is what they said would cause the light to flicker.

What does an oil sending sensor do?
They "sense" the oil pressure inside the engine. If you have an instrument panel oil pressure gauge the sending unit sends an analog signal to the gauge. If you have an oil pressure "idiot light", the sending unit turns the light on when the oil pressure is low.
Are the oil pressure switch and oil pressure sending unit the same part?
No, a sending unit is for a gauge, and the switch is for a warning light.
Would the oil pressure sending unit if failing make the red oil light go on?

What do the lights on the 1969 vw beetle dashboard mean?
the lights on the dash are as such, the left light is for the low oil pressure, the right light is low generator/alternator. The red light on the dash is for the cylinder head temp. if it exceeds a temp limit, it will light. when driving, or coming off the freeway, the oil pressure light might flicker, due to the change in pressure quickly. The generator light may flicker when 1st started or if the vehicle is ideling lower than required.
