It's not really for 'condensation', but for any water that isn't drained from the false firewall area by the two side drains.
This valved grommet is a bottle-neck that can accumulate leaves and other debris, plug up, and cause corrosion. Many owners or their mechanics remove the grommet/drain tube to prevent that. If yours is no longer fitted, you'll likely not even notice the 1.5 inch / 37mm hole in the overhang of your false firewall. My car came with the grommet missing. You will notice it if you have to remove and replace the trim molding below and in front of the windshield. With no grommet in place, it's a direct doorway for a mouse. I have the part, but I have not yet replaced it.

Okay cool, I will go check tomorrow and see if I can find that. The nest was right under the radio, behind the controls for the top, which sounds like pretty close to where you're describing, but I'll do some digging.
Thanks, this is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for
