Im not familiar with the term cheater vent. Perhaps you are referring to an Automatic Air Vent or Air Admittance Valve? They are installed per the manufacturers reccomendations. Some municipalitys around the US recognize these, but do not allow them. They work on the basis that once installed if there is negative pressure in the waste arm from the act of water being flushed through the p-trap and down the waste line they allow air to be entered into the system to protect the trap seal.
