It's a purely aesthetic thing... It's like the grille on the Mazda 3... Nissan didn't put them there with brake ducting in mind. It just so happened that they wanted to run this fang design, and those two open areas would really serve no purpose, so they cover it up with some fancy plastic that "looks" like a grille.
like the miata doors?

No, Miata doors play a very large role in the structural integrity of the car. It is also widely accepted in the science community that the the fabric of time and space is woven together with Miata doors.
