What you are seeing is the rubber ring sandwhiched between the inner hub of the vibration damper and the outer intertia ring. In other words, the vibration damper is made of three parts, a cast iron inner hub and a cast iron outer intertia ring, with a rubber ring press fit between the two.

If the rings have slipped, or the rubber is slipping out, this can affect your engine balance and crankshaft. Fix it before it comes apart.
