The difference in pressures (higher on the right) could cause a pull to the right.

Common belief, but not exactly right. With air on one side of an axle's brakes it causes a slight delay in apply on the side with air, but the air will compress to the applied pressure and brake torque will even out. You typically feel a quick tug on the steering wheel towards the non-air side and then it goes away.
Air will require more fluid volume to that one side, but neither the pedal or master cylinder cares about that, they will just travel farther for more displacement. But if the applied pressure at the master is 500 psi, the air bubble then compresses to 500 psi, and the fluid downside develops 500 psi.
