The vent is for the moisture-laden warm air that results from forcing hot air into it. Possible than vented dryers are less common in your region if you are not familiar? They are an incredibly simple design, and thus very cheap to make, but are significantly less energy efficient than modern condenser or heat-pump dryers.
Yeah looks like only heat pump driers are even allowed to be sold in the last 14 years here. But even before that, my family never had one that vented outside (Switzerland).
