I think the best and safest answer is probably => yes you've buggered the hub.

If you check out the limits in chapter 35-360 in the FSM they are pretty strict.

However, if you can get someone to turn the hub on a lathe then you might be able to get within the specifications when you come to reassemble it. BUT it is a bit dodgy in my opinion. Even here where prices are high the cost of a second hand trailing arm is about 70 euros... I'm of the opinion trying to fix that damage isn't worth the risk. Surely someone here will have a spare they can send you? I'd send you mine but the postage would kill us both off...
