Have I damaged this wok?

Like an idiot and trying to rush to do a billion things at once, I left the wok on high heat with nothing in it.. came back to see smoke everywhere, alarms galore etc. managed to clear it all out (whatever the fumes are has left a nasty scratchy feeling on my throat).

I looked up the brand (hiteclife) and found the wok that looks exactly like mine which is carbon steel (and it looks like that’s all they do).

I went to give it a clean and I’ve ended up with a few scratches and a “light” patch in the middle, see picture:

Forgive me am a cooking noob lol. Still learning. Can anyone advise? Is this actually a non stick or is this something I can shrug off and clean and use again?

Thank you
