Yup, that rubber gizmo is an original equipment vibration-isolating thingie. The bellows shape lets it move in and out easily, to absorb engine vibration, while still transmitting the twist motion of the throttle linkage pretty rigidly. A plain tube or cylinder floppy enough to absorb the engine movement would twist too easily and give soggy throttle response, while one stiff enough to respond readily also would transmit more vibration.
Where you'd find a replacement, I dunno, unless one of the marque specialists has them. When mine started to go bad back in my two-stroking days, I just reinforced around the deteriorated area with masking tape, then flowed silicone rubber into the gaps and let it dry. Won't work if it's too far gone, but worth a try if the damage is fairly localized...
