What you think of that speculation is meaningless; the point is that we don't know how the story ended because the Coen brothers are douchebags.
Bell sees the vent, open, with a coin beside it and the camera lingers for a few seconds so we know it's important. We saw Chigurh open a vent with a coin earlier, and we know he's the only one who knows where Moss hid it the first time. Later, Chigurh gives the kid a hundo for a shirt, in a scene reminiscent of the one with Moss at the border earlier when he pays for a coat when Moss had the money. Chigurh got the money, and it's not
that ambiguous.
The Coens made sure to have Chigurh shy away from blood several times during his murders, so that later they can just show him checking his shoes and we know he killed Carla Jean. This is the same kind of thing - they slowly show us that Chigurh knows where Moss hides things, how to get them, and what to do when he has them. Then everything happens in a way that fits perfectly with him getting the money.
