I don't think there is any way to mount it on the back. I would have to tape it on or something I guess...

It's magnetic. Just slap it on the PSU or the sidepanel.

So I was looking at the Corsair Air 540, but noticed there is no PSU air filter. I was wondering how important this was, and if this will effect my PSU?

Not a huge deal. Personally I don't like unfiltered intakes at all. And you can always buy a filter. A Silverstone FF143 is about $10.

Its based on where you/pc live in the world!!

 

I would use a dust filter in Sahara and other hot places with much dust around.
