Hard to tell from the pictures, I'd chip off as much paint as I could to get a better view of the carbon: lighter lines equals delamination, but there could be other damage you can't see - it needs an ultrasound scan. Any carbon frame is fixable if you spend enough, but often not really worth it. This is the price you pay for high performance plastic - that ding in a steel frame would just be annoying.
