Uhhhh, no. That hole is always there on the main body, but it's only used when you have an auxiliary idle air bleed, which you don't. I don't think punching a hole in your gasket will make a difference one way or the other though, but test it out by putting a small straw in the hole and see if you can't blow through it. IOW, I think that's a dead end hole that does nothing. Try using the orange cam and use hole #1.
