Much of the perforated mesh is around the solid wooden/metal case frame so not much of it actually I would say is for cooling. The wooden/metal case frame is cut away for the loudspeaker so the mesh there is for mainly for sound pass through as you say. Because at the speaker there is no/little case structure directly behind the mesh, it is the speaker area where the mesh is weakest that often has the worst damage/wear.
