but does it have a bios flash button?

It does not have a BIOS flash button, no. Best bet would be to email AMD and ask for their BIOS upgrade kit, which they'll send you free of charge.

The B450 Tomahawk does.

If you buy the board from them they may, call & ask.

Asus doesn't have a feature to update the BIOS without a CPU like MSI. You'll need to make sure one of those has been updated to 7002 or it won't work with a 3rd gen CPU.
