It's recessed with a rubber plug with an added o-ring. That's more protection than the barrel jack on my e-bike has.

My bike has a rubber plug that opens on its own :/

Plug is this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184996570700

It would still be better to have the charge point up on the top tube. Having it down near the pedals also risks it being damaged when using it to charge your phone.
