Yes. Yes Since you say you assembled it. If it came assembled from a bike shop, then they would be at fault.

The derailleur was just doing what it was told.

If you hit a baseball through a window, do you blame the ball ?

Looks like you just need a new hanger & derailleur. Possibly a chain if there are bent links.
