Is there a filter missing? W212

Just took off the battery cover to replace the battery and noticed a bit of a void.

Should there be anything inside there above the fan. Looks mighty dusty and thought I might be missing a filter or something.

The filter fits under the battery cover and covers that hole rather than going in it .

Someone's nicked your cabin filter
Or someone trying to run a Mercedes on the cheap.

This first filter catches larger particles the filter inside under the glovebox catches down to pollen like size particles.
