Does it make sense to put an aftermarket cold air intake on the 2.0 TDI? Will this mess up a tune if I go with APR or Malone?

No and no.
Have you seen the cold air intake thread sticky on performance enhancements page?

Yes, it makes perfect sense. And that is why it left the factory with one (just like every other car).

you gain at least a tenth in the quarter mile when your wallets lighter, so that's a plus.
Save your money and save up for an emissions delete, save the intakes for the GTI spoolie bois.

The GTI guys have enough with the EA888 engines randomly doing wallet-crushing things, LOL...

Yep. The real fun comes around 100k. But I am happy, too. Good income makers.
to answer the first half of your questions, most AM cold air intakes really are..... hot Engine Compartment Air intakes. bad
the stocker IS already a cold air intake with more than enough cfm flow for mods.
edit: I should say bad unless you drive in real cold and are having trouble keeping engine temp up, in that case it would help efficiency to draw in warm engine compartment air. But then that's what your egr cooler-warmer is for too.
