It is a normal adaptive measure of Monsteras and many other houseplants but is also a sign that your plant is experiencing stress.
As the leaf matures the holes will stop growing leaving a distinct final pattern. I did notice when pulling an unfurled leaf from the old leaf small yellow bugs running along the leaf but nowhere else.
