Doubt: what does this cap do?

was taking a peek under the hood of my indica and saw this cap lying open. This is on the passengers side of the firewall. My first response was to close it.

Now I'm wondering whether I should have left it as it is. Pardon my ignorance

It is used to fill a/c refrigerant. Keep the cap closed so that no dust or dirt goes inside it.

if I am right then it is the valve for refilling ac gas...keep it closed only..
gurus please confirm
