Yes, that is most like a basal shoot. I would wait until it gets a bit bigger, before you think about cutting it for a new plant.

Some people just let the basal growth grow and it eventually becomes a faster growing plant than the original growth point.

I like to make new plants from them, though.
 
thanks! but how big? mine's about the size of a dime..

Patience, It will take it awhile , several months, to get big enough to pitcher.

keeping it will make the pot look more full and dense
