The little filter goes on the port on the valve cover that had a pipe or hose leading to the stock intake. While the engine runs, the PCV system draws air in through the valve cover port to clear vapors out of the crankcase. If it isn't filtered air, dust will get into the engine.

no dont plug it, you can put a small filter on the valve cover hole or run a hose from it to the new intake

If your new intake has a hose branched off of it like the stock intake, connect the hose to the valve cover and don't use the little filter.

if you have the filter hook it up on the valve cover its better just plug the hole on your intake if you have one.
