Sorry you had to find out the hard way that PPF is not that much of a protection.
As others had stated, the stone went through PPF and through clear coat layers, maybe digging into the epoxy on top of the CF. It's a little hard to judge from the picture how deep it went. But if it compromised epoxy / CF layer, it should be repaired to avoid spreading.

If the chip went into the epoxy/CF layer, you do NOT want to leave it as-is.
Same as with a chip that went through paint and exposed bare metal on a roof, if left unmitigated, the damage will spread and only add up to a larger repair bill later.
If epoxy layer is penetrated, you will need to clean and fill in the area with new clear epoxy. Then a bit of clear coat paint on top, level and polish. New PPF on top is optional.
Repair maybe visible from a few feet away, but structurally it will be as good as new.
If you are are DIY-er and have worked with epoxy before - you can do it yourself. PPF needs to come off first.
Otherwise, pay someone competent to do it for you.
HTH,
