That statement is extremely debatable. But anyway.
Sidious probably forgot about Yoda. Although he does say to the Clone Commander in E3 about how if they can't find his body, then Yoda is still alive. I can't seem to work this one out.
As for Obi-Wan, I think Vader must have at least harboured doubts about Obi-Wan being dead.
I think Vader knew Obi-Wan was alive and waiting around for a second chance. Sometime there would be a time for the circle to be complete.
I assume Vader told the Emperor that Obi-wan got away, it would be pretty obvious actually. Especially when the emperor's shuttle was arriving so soon after their big battle.
The next time Obi-Wan appeared he was on the Death Star and Tarkin told Vader he must not be allowed to escape. So Vader knew Obi-Wan would come back someday.

Why do you think they went into exile?🤨
Its not like their force ability is a homing beacon that can stretch across the galaxy, Vader can feel Obiwan on the Death Star, but he cant feel him on Tatooine..
Sidious and Vader know that Yoda and Obi-Wan are alive, but it doesn't make much difference to them.
"Then he is not dead." (Sids last reference to Yoda)
The last time Anakin saw Obi-Wan, he was perfectly unharmed.
In their eyes, the Empire is invincible compared to a few straggling Jedi. And really, Yoda and Obi-Wan couldn't have made much difference without training Luke.
Actually something like this was posted before the movie came out. I believe GL claims that Sidious' connection to the darkside is so strong that he is as blind as Yoda was in the PT. He never was connected to the lightside, but Vader was.
That's how he immediately knows Obi-Wan is alive in ANH, and how Vader, not Sidious manages to sense Luke in ROTJ.
There was a lot more detail but this is the just of it.
