They definitely should've explained his cough, although from what I've read, I don't think Grievous actually had lungs... If he had, then vacuum would have been as damaging to him as it would a regular humanoid 
“His internal organs were enclosed in a layer of pressurized synthflesh with an organic fluid to prevent the organs from being damaged by bacteria and harmful germs, and also to maintain a suitable temperature to keep his organs alive and functional. His organs were nourished by artificial arteries keeping them alive with blood, allowing him to survive in a vacuum (in space, for example), an advantage he would display in escaping from Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker on his flagship.”
Yes, I can appreciate that the synthflesh could protect the organs, but, regardless of their protection, if Grievous had lungs, then they would still be susceptible to explosive decompression. I understand that the coughing was to seperate him from other droids, but if he had lungs, they would still be vulnerable to vacuum, regardless of the material they are encased in, because they would still have to have an 'opening' for respiration to take place.
