That may be either just surface mould from possibly condensation, OR water ingress mould that has penetrated wall.
It's a funny place for water ingress to appear, and funny distribution, but never say never! - is the wall at all soft or spongy? - if so, then likely like an iceberg, it's only the tip of the problem, what's behind wall and hidden will likely be much bigger issue!
It looks very much like surface damp trapped between upper bunk panel and wall. If like my bunk, it's fabric covered and would wick damp across a large area. May have been leakage through window seal! The worst of it should be easily removable, but probably always going to leave a stain. As it's an old van, you could paint or recover wall without reducing value.
A damp meter (preferably the no-pin kind that doesn't leave holes on tested areas!) is only way of checking for damp, it's severity and it's extent.
Good luck.
