Your just looking at the bottom of the case. You will see the diff inside there. The gear you are seeing, doesn't get grease, or maybe a very tiny dab. If you take the case apart, you will find a sealed diff. Usually 4 screws will open up the diff. There, you should find that the cup is filled just over the spider gear pin with Silicone oil or grease.

LOL, yeah, that could've been a real mess.... Can you say DIRT MAGNET...

Yeah, the first time I pulled mine apart the amount of grease on the outside of the diff was about as much toothpaste you'd put on your toothbrush.
I always wondered why they'd put grease here. It's the same as your spur gear/clutbell and there's no grease there.....

My guess is that it doesn't hurt. Grease reduces friction so it's good to have lubrication wherever metal touches metal.
