To install the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 and have it functional you will need to drill a 3 inch hole with a hole saw like you suggested.

If your trailer wall is thicker than 1-1/2 inches you may need to use a piece of 3 inch inside diameter PVC pipe and drill a larger hole to match the outside diameter of the 3 inch pipe.
