I do believe that is the bowl vent. There is a hose running down underneath the bike on mine. You may want to put a hose back on there because if a needle valve every sticks open you'll have a bike covered in fuel.
Agreed,
It is the bowl vent. A hose should be in place running downward for the very reason nolgoc stated, possible fire hazard related to a sticking needle valve. If you look, you should see the hose still in place. Look under your bike on the left side by the swing arm hinge and trace the end up. Plug it in if it is there.
