The filter , which doesnt appear to be k & n, has a duct straight to the throttle body. No air gets into that motor without going through that blue air filter, at least it shouldn't.

OIC, by 'cold air intake' I thought you meant the box, not the scoop. The box should be drawing cold air as well, that's why they seal it from the engine bay.
Additionally, from a press release

As the model name suggests, the legendary "cold-air grabbing" Shaker not only looks good with its Satin Black center-mounted hood scoop, snorkeling up from the engine compartment, it also directs cooler air back into the 5.7-liter, or now 6.4-liter (392 cu.in.), HEMI® V-8 engine. And, like the original 1970 Challenger R/T with the Shaker hood, the new 2015 Challenger models continue the Dodge tradition of an engine-mounted hood scoop that "shakes" with the powertrain's movement.
Designed for muscle-car buffs who can't help but tinker with their toys, the Challenger R/T Shaker, R/T Plus Shaker and 392 HEMI Scat Pack Shaker models feature a functional Shaker hood with Mopar cold-air intake, conical air filter and optimized air box for improved airflow and performance. Lift the hood and enthusiasts will also be treated to an under-hood "Shaker" graphic – reminiscent of the 1970s original.

Unless they're really being weaselly, I'd take 'functional' to mean the scoop brings in air IN ADDITION TO the cold air intake box.
