Yeah I thought this too, but the form said this:
"Thank you for getting in touch. If you were involved in a collision as a driver or rider you must personally report the incident to police as soon as reasonably possible and, in any case, within 24 hours of the collision. No one else may do this on your behalf. See the Road Traffic Act 1988, Section 170 for further details.
You can report it by either completing the following form, going to your local police station or telling a police constable."
So from that last sentence I took that as a no need to go physically in person.

Don't beat yourself up about it. You were driven into with 2 tonnes of vehicle by someone not paying attention.
Actual collisions should be reported to the local copshop, though, iirc. Roadsafe may tell you this themselves.
(The copshop may do fuck all about it, obvs.)
