Yes, it happens all of the time, it is called a default judgment. If this has happened to you, call the clerk of the court in your area and ask the procedures and SOL for filing a motion to vacate the judgment due to an error in service.

Is a dismissal of judgment different that a vacated judgment?

No. A "vacated" judgment means that the court considers that the judgment never took place - is vacated - is rendered null and void. A "dismissed" judgment can be done two ways - "with prejudice" and "without prejudice." "Dismissed WITH prejudice" means that even if the facts presented are true the case is over and cannot be re-tried. "WITHOUT prejudice" means the same, EXCEPT, that the charges CAN be re-filed and the case re-tried.
