I doubt the swingarm itself is bent but the bushings where it pivots could have been damaged. I would be more worried about the rim being straight at this point and worry about tension once everything else is checked. You can grab each spoke and wiggle it with your fingers, you shouldn't have any play , you can also tap each one with a screwdriver or wrench and listen to the tone if you have one that is a duller or deeper tone that one is looser then the rest, Don't go tightening spokes if you don't have a good way to true it since any spoke adjustment will effect the way the rim aligns with the hub.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains. Eat right ,Exercise ,Stay fit, Die Anyway!
