I can only recall one from my shop days in which that was the only fork damage.
New fork recommended unless the frame is of such quality that replacing the steerer is feasible (brazing, milling, matching paint).
It didn't look bent I put a straight edge on it) when I took it out and it doesn't look bent now using a straight edge with the fork is installed on the bike. I'm thinking that this is a slight bent. Yes it's a high end bike but not worth replacing the steerer. I'd rather buy a new fork or just sell it to someone willing to deal with this.
