I wonder if Aston Martin is going to use their filming day prior to Hungary. A lot of data to gather before the summer break.
Good question. Hungary is NOT a Sprint race weekend. So that decreases the need for a filming day but it doesn't mean there will not be.

I wonder if they will test anything new in Spa free practices?

Honda confirms new engine for Dutch GP so nothing for Spa and Hungary in terms of engine.
It's a natural approach for the engine and chassis to race separately. First, we'll see the effect of the chassis update alone. Then, in the next race, we'll see the new engine and what it brings. Of course, it needs a bit of a math since they're not on the same track. A one-month gap means a slightly longer wait for most awaited one. But it will let HOnda more time to work on the engine, and if, let's say, the parts installed to reduce vibrations are removed or replaced with lighter ones, then perhaps that one-month period before the new engine is installed could be used for marriage optimization, in addition to the usual things. Of course, if there's a work ban, that's a different matter.
