At least that's what it appears through some light research. If you can confirm that this is, in fact, a bios flashback function, then yes, you will be able to update the motherboard and use the CPU after the update.
Just avoid pitfalls like using exfat instead of fat32, and trying to use the .zip file instead of decompressing the .bin file.
I seem to remember some bios being able to read exfat, and even accepting the .zip, but I might be misremembering.
newer boards can update bios with the cpu that the current bios does not support
it will be fine til you update bios with the cpu installed
When you buy a board there is no way to know if it supports that CPU out of the box unless you can get the revision number or serial of the board and ask the manufacturer (only they know what BIOS is running on it).
That said, for most modern AMD CPUs the CPUs are usually just ran in "compatability mode" when unsupported meaning that it will still boot, but the CPU is technically unsupported or may lack features. This means that they may have some instability when running or some features may not work properly until you update the BIOS, even if it does boot
Since you are running a 5600x and not a 5600G booting from iGPU I don't think there will be a major issue running it and updating the BIOS, but there is always the remote possibility that it won't boot if Asrock hardcoded it not to boot .
All AM CPUs on the same generation (AM4, AM5, ...) should use similar execution code and run in COMPAT mode first, then full mode. This is supposed to be standard precisely so you can update your BIOS. But again, it depends on how Asrock implemented their BIOS and whether or not they followed guidance.
unzip it.
format a usb stick ntfs.
paste bios file on usb stick.
restart pc with usb stick in.
at logo press del to enter bios page.
look for flash....
easy peasey
its a better chipset, but weaker vrm config
4(with cooling)+2(no cooling)
~100w to cpu cores
this is <$100 better mix

ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4/ac
6(with cooling)+2(no cooling)
~150 to cpu cores, ~40w to igpu+vrm will be fine since the 5600x has no igpu
its rated 65w, so ~130w is what it will pull with pbo enabled
better board instead of the original one I suggested?
if you dont want to move to a full atx case
im not a fan of biostar, had to rma a few board for bad flash
Biostar B550MX/E PRO is ~$130
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/98Fbt6/biostar-b550mxe-pro-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b550mxe-pro
8+2 all with cooling
can give ~200w to cors
but honestly, id look into a bigger case, makes assembly and cable management much easier
