What is this and should it be connected to something? It looks like a vacuum hose should be connected to it or is it just a vent tube?

it's just a piece of the motor that does not require any hook up...

our motor is a generic/surplus motor.

One difference between the GS300 motor and the IS300 motor is the Power Steering Idle-up Control. If your at an idle, in gear, then slightly turn the steering wheel the idle goes up to help with the power steering load on the engine. The GS300 uses a vacuum controlled solenoid. The IS300 uses an electric idle up solenoid. The engine is made for both cars, but when they send it so the IS300 factory they leave the tube in because it's too much trouble to remove it later.
That's what it's for.

ok now i have to go look at that, i hate when people notice new things!!!

this is correct. toyota has this on most of their other vehicles, and be happy that you don't have to deal with the vacuum ones, if you look at them funny, they break, and they are made of cheap plastic and $120 to replace. i would much rather have the electrical one then the fragile vacuum connections (nipples) .
