The phrase is unclear- it could mean the vocabulary in the text or the specific meanings in the text. Without more context,it doesn't look natural to me.
In my opinion, " text-based" vocabulary: vocabulary that is based on the text. ( teaching vocabulary in the text )
It's a teaching technique when you teach students words in their context.
