Yeah that's a PCV hose, it runs from the TB back behind the manifold somewhere. It probably wouldn't hurt much to have it open as long as you fix it soon. It might raise your idle slightly though.

The PCV system just vents pressure from the crankcase. It might not affect your car much at all since its not a really big leak. My old caprice had a decent vacuum leak and it idled pretty high until I fixed it.
