When I look at the WSDL, they forgot an important relation:
   <xsd:element name="AdvertiserIDFilter" type="tns:AdvertiserIDFilter"
 +    substitutionGroup="tns:AdvertiserServiceFilter"
   />

If they had used that, as they intended to when I see the detail of the
rest of the spec, then your life would be very easy.  However, according
to the current wsdl you can only use AdvertiserServerFilter elements at
that spot...  not what you wish for.

Well, for the solutions for the writing case:
  1) patch the WSDL, adding substitutionGroup's
  2) process the filter structures beforehand

>       AdvertiserServiceFilter => [{},], },

  my @filters;
  push @filters, $wsdl->writer('tns:SomeFilter')->($doc, $filterdata);
    ... { AdvertiserServiceFilter => \@filters },
-- 
success,
