The source of this is Niddah 30b. Interestingly, the Talmud mentions the angel tapping the baby on the mouth but nothing about the dent (philtrum) left behind. If this is the sole source, it would render your  question and that of whey non-Jews have dents immaterial; unless there is another source which does mention it.
Shabbat Shalom!
