Looks like post inflammatory erythema mostly. I don't see much pitted scarring, nothing to worry about really.

Red marks fade over time, the very mild indentions will smoothen out with time as well.

I have similar markings. Derm said it wasn't really scarring and that using retin-a would help with that. It'll eventually fade... but if you keep getting acne then the cycle will keep going on for a while. But good news is that it WILL fade.

Doesn't look like scarring. Make sure you use sunscreen during the daytime though.
