Yes.

Also see the following from https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-13


As part of our efforts to reach our environmental goals, iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini do not include a power adapter or EarPods. Included in the box is a USB‑C to Lightning Cable that supports fast charging and is compatible with USB‑C power adapters and computer ports.


We encourage you to re‑use your current USB‑A to Lightning cables, power adapters, and headphones, which are compatible with these iPhone models. But if you need any new Apple power adapters or headphones, they are available for purchase.

So please confirm that using a 12 watt USB-A to lightning charger will not harm an IPhone13 Pro or cause it to charge slower over time if you then try to use the MagSafe USB-C 20W charger?

It won't harm it or negatively affect it. Also see the following from Charge your iPhone with an iPad or Mac notebook power adapter - Apple Support


You can use Apple USB power adapters for iPad and Mac notebooks to charge iPhone, iPod, Apple Watch, AirPods, and other Apple products.


You can use Apple 10W and 12W USB power adapters to charge your iPad, iPhone, iPod, Apple Watch, and other Apple accessories, like AirPods and Siri Remote. Just connect your device to the power adapter with the USB to Lightning cable, 30-pin to USB cable, or Apple Watch charger that came with your device.
