My Glock 34 has a similar hole in the slide and no barrel porting. The hole is designed to lighten the longer slide and has nothing to do with porting of barrels.
Makes sense. My training and familiarity is with the standard length Models 17 and 22.

The hole you speak of serves two purposes-one is to lighten the weapon, the other is to lighten the slide so that the "timing" is right to function the weapon properly.
The longer slide is heavier, and the weight needed to be reduced for functioning
