The microphone doesn’t show up in the Plasma applet. pactl list doesn’t list it either, but I can see in /usr/share/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/99-asahi.conf that it is mentioned:

// ...
node.software-dsp.rules = [
    # J293 (MacBook Pro 13", M1, 2020)
    {
        matches = [
            { api.alsa.path = "hw:AppleJ293,1" }
        ]
        actions = {
            create-filter = {
                filter-path = "/usr/share/asahi-audio/j293/graph.json"
                hide-parent = true
            }
        }
    }
    {
        matches = [
            { api.alsa.path = "hw:AppleJ293HPAI,0" }
        ]
        actions = {
            create-filter = {
                filter-path = "/usr/share/asahi-audio/j293/mic.json"
                hide-parent = true
            }
        }
    }
// ...

J293 is indeed the model of my machine, and the microphone works on macOS.

I have the same laptop and am a bit unclear if the internal mic is now supposed to work.

It still show as WIP on the Feature Support list:

Microphone support is not yet enabled for the 13-inch Macbook Pros (M1 and M2, J293/J493).

Microphone support on M2 Pro/Max 14 and 16-inch Macbook Pro was broken and should be fixed by 6.13.8-400.asahi.

Microphones on M2 Pro/Max appear to be still broken unfortunately.
