In Borderlands when looking at the damage of weapons, particularly shotguns, it says stuff like 20×6. Does that mean the true damage is 120? Is there something special that must occur for you to get the times 6?

I am going to assume you mean these:
That is the DLC indicator. The symbols are General Knoxx, Moxxi's Underdome, and Island of Dr. Ned, from left to right. If there is a checkmark by it like so, it means that the host has the DLC.
If you see a black X in a red circle next to the image, like this,
then the host does not have that particular piece of DLC. You can see in this particular example that the host has none of the DLC at all.
Bonuses that are listed on the weapon card are already included in the stats.
Bonuses you get from other places (like skills, proficiencies, etc.) are not, you'll have to do the math there.

the 20x6 simply means each shot has 6 bullets, which has a spread. If all 6 of your fragments hit the target, then the damage will be 120, or more/less depending on critical, level difference etc.
On some guns, like the Wave, the rounds come out parallel to each other, making this significantly harder to hit with all your shots.
