The air cleaner removes particles of dirt before the air enters your engine. Without it, dirt will enter the cylinders, scoring the walls, and eventually leading to failure.

How is the vacuum created in a vacuum cleaner?

Although it is called a vacuum cleaner, it does not actually create a vacuum. Inside the cleaner there is an electric motor which drives a fan blade. This fan blows air out of the vacuum cleaner and this causes air to be drawn in to the cleaner at the other end. Thus the cleaner works by creating an air flow, not a vacuum.
