Yes, that is what it looks like when the hatch glass delaminates or comes apart from the frame. There is no simple way to move the metal trim back into place. It's really not a trim piece, but the frame for the glass.

There should not be a gap between the glass and the frame, like you can see in your picture. The little divots in the glass top should also be located under the frame. Water will easily get in that gap and into the hatch area. A simple quick fix is to fill that gap with clear or black silicone.

The only real way to fix your hatch would be to remove it from the car, remove the glass from the frame, bend the frame back to the correct shape, and then glue the glass back into the frame. I have not tried this yet, but from all I have read, it's a big job and VERY easy to mess up and break the hatch glass.
