Is this normal for the MacBook Pro 2020 touchbar? There appears to a mark on the bottom left of it.

Edit: Could anyone with the 2020 MacBook Pro 13" post a picture of their touch bar? A similar photo to mine would be helpful

I don't believe that is normal. See if it is a spec, or piece of debris. If not, it is an anomaly that could warrant a replacement or repair.

Unfortunately it is definitely not a piece of debris and from what I've been searching it does not seem normal. Really unfortunate, I've had really bad luck with Apple's QC recently.
 
Looks like some dust OP, grab a can of compressed air and see if you can blow it out. One thing I've noticed is that on my old 2017 MBP the Touch Bar was flush with the case, didn't have any gaps. On my 16 inch it visibly sicks out and has a gaps on the side. Not complaining, just an observation

I've done a bit of poking around and it looks like its cracked under there somehow. Sucks, but looks like I'll have to replace it :(
 
I looked a pic of mine before I returned it and it looks similar to yours. (Mine was returned because the keyboard illumination was uneven.) Maybe it is normal after all, I don’t know for sure.
