I got these Vision Metron 55s on a second hand bike. The rear wheel has some undulations in the surface as shown. Is this a structural issue?

Looks like/could be delamination. I would not ride it.
Looks like someone put their wheels to cloee to the heater, wouldn’t ride it!

Yes, a metron rim is 100% carbon so that’s a write off. The good news is you can get replacement 55mm rims for not a lot of money so you can hopefully get a decent wheelmaker to re rim it hopefully for less than £250.
Totally normal, nothing to worry about. Carbon is meant to be squishy.

Heavy /s if you didn’t get that. Absolutely do not ride those.
You know how when you put a bike on a hitch mount, you have to be sure it’s not set up so that the car exhaust is by the wheel? This is why.
Sorry.
