Nope....
No and there's another 3" diameter hole behind the disconnect.
Before you ask how I'll point out that it says, "The material filling this annular space shall not be required to meet the ASTM E136 requirements." So you give it a shot and maybe I'll approve what you did.
It would speed things along if you would convince me that the cable, wires and shroud are listed for concealment and it would help if that is backed up by the installation instructions.
The way that rubber duct is twisted tempts a 110.12 violation.
110.12 Mechanical Execution of Work. Electrical equipment shall be installed in a neat and workmanlike manner.
And ya I would go there with the empty outlet box that's missing a blank cover.

Exception: Where the residence and the private garage are protected by an automatic residential fire sprinkler system in accordance with Sections R309.6 and R313, other door openings between the private garage and the residence need only be self-closing and self-latchng.
