The HC filter is upstream of the oiled filter, so it wouldn't provide any protection between the filter and the MAF sensor anyway.
PS - It seems that there is little to no proof of a properly oiled filter causing any damage to a MAF sensor. I know that this is manufacturer info, but it's worth a read: LINK to K&N atricle.
