Yes, you should request a corrected W-2.
The entry in box 12 with code W does indicate a contribution to a Health Savings Account. If you did not have an HSA, then this entry is incorrect. Since the IRS will also have a copy of that W-2 showing that a contribution was made to an HSA, you are likely to receive a letter about this if you simply leave off that information when you file your return.
By getting the W-2 corrected, both your copy and the IRS copy should be re-issued by your employer.
