Can this be buffed out and will it rust in the rain?

+1 on bumper being plastic and not rusting. As for what you can do to it, depends on how much you can live with it not being right. I wouldn't be happy with anything but respraying the bumper. Hard to tell the size but I could almost guarantee that touchup paint with be noticeably different on the area that is gray. You can minimize the appearance by claying and polishing but won't 'fix' it. General rule of thumb is that polishing/compounding won't correct anything that is deep enough that you can catch with a fingernail.

A full repaint of the bumper is around 500 where I live at a really nice place. I have a guy who will do mine for 180, he has all the tools but now works out of his garage doing bumpers and rim repair--my rear bumper is crappy anyway and anything would be an improvement.
I have had good luck getting smaller scraches out by filling in the area with touchup paint, then a week later wet sanding w 3000 grit, then buffing and polishing. again nothing that big--yours looks like it really will not get that out.
good luck.
