Imagine I run my oven in the summer for 400F for an hour or two. This produces a great deal of heat. Does this energy get vented to outside of the home once the oven is turned off? Or does the heat simply slowly dissipate from inside the over to the inside of my home? I suspect it is the later since I've never seen ventilation go from behind an oven to outside, but I'm wondering if this is ever the case.
Running an oven in the summer while the air conditioning is running seems like an extreme use of energy.

I've never seen one that vents to outside, and I've used kitchens in several countries.
In many places we need to heat our houses for quite a few months each year, and the waste heat from cooking is very welcome. I try to avoid using my oven in summer, choosing other things to eat instead.
You can minimise the heat produced (i.e. the electricity used by both the oven and the air conditioning) by opening the door as little as possible, and by only preheating if you really need to. A well-insulated oven can be turned off a few minutes early for many dishes as it will retain enough heat to carry on cooking.

I've never heard of an oven being vented to the outside. So, unless you have an exhaust fan that is vented to the outside, you're pretty much stuck with the heat.
Note, though, that the oven will gradually cool down after the energy source is cut off. The entire amount of residual heat will not dissipate into your house as long as you keep the oven door closed.

The entire amount will eventually make it into the room, unless the back of the oven is against a very badly insulated outside wall. Heat has to go somewhere, it can't just vanish.

While I agree with you guys, the heat cooling and gradually escaping has much less effect than just opening the door and letting the full heat go. Cooling does make a difference.

I have a swanky Viking oven that, when it decides to light and do some work, does exhaust heat to the outside via some interior fan. It is not the same fan as it has over the cooktop where you can see it sucking up smoke and cat hair. You can hear the interior fan go on about 5 min after the oven has been shut off.
So it is possible.
