It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 9 manufacturer filings and 1 owner report naming P0304 on 6 Toyota model years (2016–2018). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

2016 Prius v (3 documents), 2017 Highlander (2 documents), 2016 Highlander (2 documents).

Does P0304 on a Toyota mean it is recalled?

No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
