Doesn't include imply that there may be other parts too?

This changes the meaning of the sentence. It's saying AWS consists of several steps (see before), and future steps require round keys, and this step is about generating those round keys. It does not show how AES "requires" round keys, it shows how AES produces them.

This changes the meaning of the sentence to be incorrect. SubBytes applies the S-box. It does not apply to the S-box. SubBytes is itself an application of the S-box.

This does not appear to be grammatical.

No, it is not known if more iterations increase the security margin.
