It’s hard to tell from the pictures. Are you sure it’s actually bent ? What problems do you have ? Did you try adjusting the shifting again ? It may simply have been knocked out of adjustment
If you can’t adjust properly, yes something is bent. Usually the derailleur hanger (the shiny metallic part between the frame and the derailleur) is what bends first. It may be straightened but it’s best to change it

Odds are it’s your derailleur hangar, the silvery but holding your RD to the frame. You can get a tool to correct this for like 45$ on Amazon
Worth having in my opinion. I have to adjust mine every few months after a good rock strike (choppy MTB trails near me)

Looks like the extension link to me. The black part labeled Ztto.

It’s pretty much always the derailleur hanger. Sometimes it’s also the derailleur. Replace the hanger and recheck.
