Is your translation correct?
Yes, your translation "Points will not be deducted if there is a delay in submission" is a correct one.
「〜にならない」とは？
For a more literal translation to address your question about the meaning of にならない
- 提出に遅れた場合は
In the event (case) of a late submission
- （結果が）減点にならない
(the outcome) will not be a point deduction.
Explanation
I imagine some confusion might stem from the question, 何が何にならない？. In your example, 何が減点にならない？ In many cases where this isn't explicit, the 何 in 何が can be thought of as "reality", "result", "outcome", etc., and this is understood -- "(the result) will not be a point deduction".
