it should be fine starting it without the rubber hose on.
you could always stick some duct tape over it if you're worried about any dirt getting in till you get a hose, stick some over the hose hole in the air box too as any dirt getting in through there will be the engine side of the filter and could be drawn in through the hose thats fitted.
the hose wasn't that expensive it was £13.69+vat a couple of years ago part no i have is 3tb144540000 joint.
