I would expect that to be reversed and sticking into the wheel hub to make contact with the horn button convex spring. Does any of this interfere with using the wheel on a truck?
That picture is the back of the steering wheel.

"that metal doohickey with the 2 prongs that mounts with the threaded holes that the steering wheel puller would use"

That metal doohickey is the turn signal canceling cam. The steering wheel puller attaches to the front of the steering wheel. You will see those holes when you remove the horn button.

"And what is the deal with that plastic and metal contact that is sticking out of the back of the wheel hub?"

That is the contact for the horn slip ring assembly.
