The Asteroid in the middle of PHQ is intentionally therre, most probably to occupy space so that building too much in the PHQ is difficult (not impossible).

The lore about the PHQ (as revealed if you start the PIO gamestart) is that it was under construction in PIO space to help with their Terraforming attempt when it was taken away to GE1 after Bozo's experiment. It was not completed and had faced some problems when this happened and, of course remains like this.
There is no plot, so far, that would complete it.

Also bear in mind that any new plot that changes the PHQ construction shape or layout would probably upset a lot of current players who have already built stuff around it and it might even make some vanilla saves incompatible for future vanilla playing-on purposes.

Yes, Boso did say the rock was some sort of power source, but didn't explain any further then or since. I don't think the CoH or ToA DLCs explain it much further.

Not if it's an actual plot. Just make it so it requires you to dismantle the whole thing first.

It would be cool if the asteroid in the middle could be turned into an asteroid base, for additional storage/manufacturing spaces.
If you want to go fast, go alone.

You can clip modules into each other except docking and building modules.
So you can put 1000 storage modules in the asteroid.
