If so, I don't think Lexus did it. They were supposed to do it with my t belt but this belt that goes around everything in the front looks older and a little worn on the edges.

I sent Lexus the pics and they said it was definitely replaced due to the yellow bar line not being worn down. Why are the edges a little worn though?

Yes, that's a new belt. The yellow stripe will wear off soon because the back of the belt runs around a pulley (maybe the tensioner).

The edges look like that because the back of the belt is a woven cloth material, and it gets a little fuzzy on the edge.

Thank you for the reassurance, just some after anxiety.
