Yes, the plugged hose is airbox drain.

The big hole is a "welsh" plug. Its a permanently plugged factory port....no touchee, and no hoses attach to it.

The carb body "holes" are engineered and manufactured for the fuel paths, vents and throttle shafts. Keihin (the carb manufacturer) then installs needed inner components and caps the access holes off, which is what you are pointing at.

Intricate little buggers, aren't they?
