Not especially, people do put bungs in instead. Them going bang is quite common.

does it make any difference to power or anything? /if i put all the bits back together theres a small hole that looks like a flat headed screw driver has been stabbed through it? could that cause it not to start with lack of air?

It will be leaking air into the intake, repair or fit a resonator bung.
