Yes its called CYA.
I have run for years without a screen. The MAF worked great without it. It only slows down the flow. They may have been thinking that it evens the flow out by creating turbulence , but I have not seen any differences. It is most likely a CYA measure in case a mechanic leaves a bolt in the airbox (had that happen).
