All Ryzen CPU's that end with the letter "G" means that there is an integrated GPU so no you dont need a discrete graphics card to have an image output. Based on the motherboard site the CPU is supported from the bios version 5603 or above (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/PRIME/PRIME-A320M-K/HelpDesk_CPU/).

For a little more background, the 5603 BIOS was released in Nov 2020 so it is possible to get a board with a newer (although there is only one newer BIOS). A320 motherboards are really low end and not very popular because they are low end. If you buy from a shop, you can get them to update the BIOS. If you buy on-line you have a 50/50 chance (IMO) of getting a new enough BIOS. An A320 board could have been sitting around for a while before selling because of the low popularity.
