The plug, if it were coming from the gas tank, was for the gauge and fuel pump. Purple, being the sending wire for the fuel gauge. Green, hot for the pump. Black, ground for the pump/sending unit.
The other end is not a dangling plug end but, in the center of the wall behind the backrest of the rear seats. Regardless of the termination end being there or not, the fuel gauge sender & pump wires ran under the drivers side door sill trim to the center of the rear seats

Short answer, yes, it's why your gauge doesn't work.
