rock chip for sure.
get a paint pen from the dealer.
check corrosion warranty - I thought I had a claim with VW on the bottom door seam.
Seams and welds not covered.
Basically a panel has to corrode from the inside out away from seams, spot welds, and more.
The door latch ... clean up with a toothbrush size wire brush, use art brush and a bit of paint to cover.
I consider this kinda thing owner maintenance and do it myself.
The door is a mystery. Somethings happened there.
If you spotted it new .. and its kinda obvious ... the dealer would have had to deal with it.
My Mach came with a couple small pits in paint where the tailgate closes. They were going to do a 2 day repair. Advised them to not bother ... way too minor for me to waste time dropping off and picking up. They gave me a paint pen which will come in handy in future. Rock chips are a part of life.
