the hub can be replaced if needed, but more often than not, its doesnt need to be. It is a sealed assembly, so there are no individual bearings to replace.

Remove the wheel, unbolt the calipers and swap out the rotors. Pretty easy.

Right, you're thinking of older cars, including third gens, where the hub assembly came off with the rotors, and you had to periodically repack the wheel bearings. 4th gens have sealed hubs as mentioned which don't require any maintenance (though of course when they go, you have to replace the hub assembly, which isn't cheap).

Just the rotor and pads is all you need to worry about!

Some autopart stores sell a caliper painting kit that has everything you need. Search here for a write up on how to do it right, theres a couple floating around.

When you reassemble the brakes make sure you lube up the sliders (pins) and replace all the seals on them. I had one sieze up and it was a pain in the ***, had to get a new front caliper bracket.

It's also a good idea to flush your brake fluid. They make different colors so it's easy to tell when you get all the old fluid out. I also bought Earl's solo bleeders and it made the flush easy to do by myself.

Excellent advice, had the same thing happen to me. I threw everything at it, and couldn't get the guide pin out. Those caliper brackets aren't cheap from the dealer either. Also, make sure you use some high temp grease for that job.
