Based on the pictures I can find of the Pro Trailer Backup Assist package on your 2020 F-150 it should have a factory brake controller built in. Under the knob for the trailer backup you should see a spring loaded lever and a plus and minus button which is the brake controller. You can confirm this by hooking up a trailer with brakes and squeezing that spring loaded lever and you should see a trailer brake screen come up on the dash.
If for some reason you don't see these parts, then you'd need a brake controller such as the Redarc # RED63RR you were looking at. To install this you'd also need the adapter # 22292 and # 331-TPH-017.
