Looking again at the Nordic Audi photo that I linked to (in my thread) the pump unit is at the same level as the big hooks for the centre pad above the lumbar pads (with Velcro in your picture, but not theirs).

It is fixed to the metal back plate of the side bolster on the left side so fairly buried inside the bolster; it will indeed be just above that "brown leather" wrap.
I've just confirmed by operating the pump that it's on the left side on both front seats and I can get my fingers inside the bolster to just about reach it. However a rigid joint in the centre pad gets in the way, so that will definitely have to come out.
Having also just tilted one seat back to expose the zip, I'm not 100% sure what it does, it doesn't seem to be under any significant tension so if you undo it and leave it open will it affect the seat in any way, other than stopping debris falling through?
