It is hard to evaluate your damage based on a picture, but I have driven on tires that "looked" worse that that. That small amount of rubber might not compromise the sidewall, but the impact with the curb might have created internal damage to the sidewall.

If the tire is losing pressure or the sidewall is deformed, then certainly the tire should be replaced.
