Holes are not a problem, it is uneven surface that is the problem. Small shallow holes will not touch the blade, hence they are not a problem. Some hones in the old days were made with planned holes in them, probably to hold more water and were perfectly great hones.
My 2cents prox!!

Thank you all,
looks like I need to do small lapping for this hone and I should be ready to use it. Last question - what will be the grit # of each of the hone sides? I know that from picture is impossible to tell, but in my opinion polishing side is about 6k (almost smooth like mine SWATY stone) and brown side is like 1-2K.

Proximus, IMHO I think you are right on the money in your estimation. You may be off by 1k +/- but either way you got the overall picture of it's approximate usage. Super dull, the low grit side, need just a touchup before a shave, the higher grit side.
Either way, you got a good barber hone their, and use it in good health my friend!!
