Scrappy,
without going out into the cold and popping the bonnet up i think your assumption is correct and that is the overflow for the coolant

No idea why it hangs down to nowhere like that but I replacrd mine witha longer pipe which then tucked neatly down below the engine bay into the slipstream so nothing important would get stained or wet.
