Actually, if you look at Bentley pages 87.27 through 87.30, you'll see
there is a temperature regulating flap WITHIN the heater core box that
directs fresh air over the heater core to warm it or not to provide
outside-temp fresh air.  It's controlled by a "temperature flap regulating
servo motor" .    Additional flaps within the heater core box direct the
fresh or heated or conditioned air to the instrument panel, defroster vents
and footwells.  There's even a special tool, or template,  #2076A, for
assuring proper alignment of the various flaps in the heater core box when
reassembling it.

The flap you discuss here is the one at the evaporator box.  Its function
is to open a flap into the cabin  during A/C use to let previously cooled
air into the blower system so the A/C is working with progressively cooler
air.  When A/C is not in use, the cabin flap is closed and fresh air enters
the HVAC system through the door to outside in the evaporator box.
