No, it's not filler. The story is, Abe returns to RuptureFarms to rescue all the slaves. This involves sneaking about the factory because they're unlikely to all be in one location. In gameplay terms, there are still puzzles to solve. It's not like the native tunnel between Last Legs and Sekto Springs Dam, which is very pretty, atmospheric, says quite a bit about the Grubbs, and might serve to allow the game to fully load the huge dam exterior environment, but ultimately provides no gameplay other than "just keep going, just keep going, further, further."
