I am fairly sure it is the hose adapter or connection holding the duct to the fender. As you said, the scoop has no hose connection. It just bolts to the fender via 3 studs which extend down thru and has washers and nuts on the bottom. A gasket provides the air seal between the scoop and fender and air is drawn or directed down into the tube and duct.
I don't have any good photos of the parts inside the trunk but here is a couple from the SM. The tube in question would be for the end of the tube which connects to the similar tube connection on the return plenum. The fender tube is just a short maybe 2 or 3 inch long piece which the duct slides over and then a clamp goes over both to hold the duct on.
I remember distinctly the raised portion on the top of the fender under the scoop. I can't say for sure it had a ring as a base because it was all leaded in but the opening did stick up maybe 1/8" above the surface of the fender.
