There are a lot of MSI B450M motherboards. We will need a better description.
Most of the B450M motherboards have "Plus" or "Pro" ...

Is everything working and performance is as expected? If yes, then no need.

I don't like to update BIOSs just because there's an update available.

I would recommend opening the case and matching the motherboard to the pictures on the MSI website.

You don't have to open it up.

Get CPUz utility, it's free. Look on the mainboard tab, look for the Model Number. Look for that model number on the MSI web site for support, or simply ask here.

And to answer your initial question: yes, I'd suggest updating BIOS since any October of '19 version would not have an AGESA that fix all the issues that limited full capability of Ryzen 3000 CPU's and provides fullest memory compatibility. But don't go to the 'latest' as that's likely to be one intended for Ryzen 5000 processors.
