The "foam" layer is part of the Mann Air Filter. No reason to remove it and if you try you will likely ruin the filter. It is on the "dirty" (inlet) side of the filter so there is no way it could ever come loose and go downstream.
The foam mentioned in previous posts that people have removed is the lining material inside the cleaner box. I removed mine shortly before I sold my 744 because it was starting to disintegrate and fall off in chunks. My 945 does not seem to have this lining material in the air cleaner box, so maybe Volvo figured out it was not necessary and changed the design at some point.
