Component placement depends on the size and year of your MBA, but generally the mother/daughter boards are placed closer to the hinge. If this was your lid where the impact occured, there isn't too much to worry about as long as your screen still works and wasn't shattered. If this was the base, then you might want to reference pictures from a teardown to see how close the dent comes to your battery array. Google "macbook air teardown" and pick your year and size. iFixit has a great series on the MBA line. Although highly unlikely, a dented battery could prove unstable.
