All three hoods, the included one as well as the LH-40N and LH-90IIS compact options, allow a filter to be added before or after the hood. To keep the setup as compact as possible, the 3D adapter lets you place UV or ND filter glass behind the hood without adding any extra height, so you still get both hood and filter protection in the smallest footprint.
Since compactness is one of the strengths of this lens, it's a nice solution.
The LH-40N absolutely has filter threads on the front (43mm).

Not quite…
The included Septon hood is designed to stay relatively compact while still allowing a filter to be added after the hood, so the setup is lens, hood, then filter.
The optional, more compact hoods (LH-40N and LH-90IIS) work differently. They allow a filter to be added before the hood, but don’t have filter threads on the front.
The LH-40N absolutely has filter threads on the front (43mm).
