Just a couple of comments - first, mouth injuries can be hard to spot after they stop bleeding and the blood is gone, so hopefully your vet will use a mouth speculum, and do a full check -- otherwise, it might be easy to miss something along the cheek, etc.
Second - the comment may have been incorrect - one thing you could have done (depending on the logistics) was lead the horse in by his halter if he really did have a serious cut. I'm assuming you were riding with a halter, so leading him in (or to some spot to be picked up) might have been an option.
Regardless - I don't think concern for the well being of your horse is ever misplaced.

As these other riders were passing, one of them commented that, "There's nothing you can do about it now, anyway"- of course I imagine you won't take this as quite as rude as I did when you read this because you can't hear the tone in which it was spoken.
Maybe I'm making something out of nothing. It just rubbed me the wrong way.
