Indicator is Commonly used on commercial engines and does indicate air flow restriction from dirty filter. Doesn't do anything to filter incoming air.

You are correct it isn't a filter. What is does is measure the restriction in air flow the filter causes as the filter gets dirty. Rather then guessing how dirty the filter is or just changing the filter based on mileage or how it looks the indicator tells you the condition of your filter. With the cost of some of the filters today it can save a lot of $. Usually the truckers don't add stuff like this without a good reason.

Both of my Dodge Cummins 5.9L's came with the filter minders.

The filter minders fail if hit with engine cleaner. Test it every so often.
