I wonder if this holds true for a wood burning sauna too? An active fire in the stove creates a massive draft that'll pull air through the stove and out the chimney.

No it's different for wood burning when inside the space because they act as an effective exhaust on their own.

Where I live, saunas have the stove’s inlet outside the sauna itself.

Yeah the only way for wood stoves to work ~decently in a small room like that is to be direct vented.
