Well..as I know wood , water lifts the grain not oil because water causes swelling.
The rough area around the register vent appears to be from a gnarly area of wood presenting some angled end grain into the bore which has lifted creating a rough texture amid a slight coresponding indentation. The rounded look of this texture I would put down to a build up of bore oil.

The visible flow lines of the grain in the bore are consistent with a tiny knot and a gnarly grain area next to the vent .

If the rough area next to the vent was indeed some form of buildup where the swab doesn't touch , then it would exist on both sides of this obstruction not just one .
