This is not important only if the filter never gets plugged further than it is when freshly installed. If it gets more and more plugged, you have a problem that is different for each engine.
Easy really, check your idle rpms, if it is in the range, you are fine. If it was plugged your engine will idle low.

Also, there is proactically no chance that an liquid will plug this coarse filter. Only solids will.
