Yes, it is a warm air hose.  When it's cold out the airbox takes some(maybe
all) air from a shroud attached to the manifold.  This air passes through
the tube.  Replacements, in my experience, are expensive from the dealer.
You would better off to get some carb preheater hose from a parts
store(make sure it's heat resistant).   Most people leave the tube off
though, but if your car doesn't like the cold you may want to keep it.
