Absolut richtig!

That's correct, in this context "Auf" means "open" and "Zu" means "Closed" (btw. "up" means "Oben" and "down" means "unten")
The pin was simply adjusted at the flap, so when the cooler flap was down the pin was not very much to see, the cooler flap was up the pin was fully visible.

Here is a Picture from the Bf-109E3 at the German Museum in Munich.
The Flap is up, the pin is visible.


Here is another picture from the same airplane, which shows clearly the cowling flap is closed.
