 That's the theory, I believe.  It just vents the air to the inside of the
 door and lets it go out drain holes, etc... >>
 

FYI: on the type II there are about four or five large covered "holes" in the
low pressure area on the back edge of the drivers door. Being in this low
pressure area, they are prone to a lot of vacuum and if you open those little
vents you will feel a lot more draw through the dash vents if all the other
windows are closed.
