Did you try it?

The DVB driver get's it via the DVB stream and inserts it into the video
signal (composite out only - not on RGB output). You just have to have
the right teletext IDs for every channel in your channels.conf.
At VDRPortal is a posting with a patch to the scan application in the DVB
driver sources that will report the TID, amongst other things:

The only thing is:
Obviously the teletext plugin intercepts the teletext signal, so nothing
is inserted into the video signal. So you have two possibilities:
- don't load the teletext plugin and use your TV for teletext or
- use the plugin, but then you can't use the TV's teletext
