Sort of, they help draw air in and through the engine bay. This increases the clean air that gets in to the engine for combustion and helps to cool the engine as well.

NOTE: I don't know this for a fact as I have never seen this truck up close, that is just based on similar vents on other vehicles. I have vents in my engine lid that serve this purpose. My engine, however, is in the back of the car where fresh air can be a little hard to come by without some help. Somebody may know more than me on that subject.
