The "frame" is merely the part upon which a gaseous permeable membrane is attached which allows air to pass, but no engine-damaging particles.

It's somewhat difficult to determine why Porsche does what they do, but I would postulate a theory that it may be related to enhancing the acoustics out of that area of the intake.
