Could confirm this.

Could not confirm this, QEMU mentions that for this model it means AMD Opteron 23xx
(Gen 3 Class Opteron) CPUs, but I couldn't find any mentioning that those had already
AES support.

The first model that mentioned support for this were the Bulldozer based ones, i.e.,
Opteron 6200-series "Interlagos" and consorts, which QEMU lists under Opteron_G4.

Did I overlook something or is here the minimum really G4? Not that it's a big Problem,
but we need to know exactly what models can work with the new default for support
reasons.
