Is this a normal Disk Partition Configuration?

I'm new to mac I just got my first macbook used last week. I was trying to install Windows 10 via boot camp and it told me it could not due to some issue and to check Disk Utility. I have used Linux and Windows to a lesser degree most of my life, but I am embarrassed to say I don't fully understand this. I ran diskutil list & diskutil apfs list and this is the output. I saw these commands on some other post and thought they may be helpful. This is probably completely normal. I am sure I just want to understand. I am on the newest update of Catalina MBP Mid 2017. Also, it is not super important to get Boot Camp running Windows. I was just experimenting, but does anyone see an obvious reason why there would be an issue? Thank you!
