On the old mags the fill tube (MGG2-83) used to simply pull out of the fill valve (MGG2-84).
I personally havnt had my hands on the new(?) mags, but looking at that image it does indeed look like they two parts unscrew from each other.
Either way yes you want to remove the fill tube and cut it in half roughly, I go 10mm longer than the needle on the fill valve.
This ensures theres plenty of room for gas rather than overly liquid.
Its good practice to have a good look inside the mag and check there is no swarf or debris in there, blow it out, lube the seals with silicone oil and reassemble with some weak threadlock to the screws.
Partially fill with good oiled gas and rotate the mags so the oil can settle into the seals etc.
