This flag allows distinguishing between filters that actually modify the
data and those that only modify metadata or gather some stream
information.

A "meta" filter has me associate it with other concepts, maybe
spelling out "metadata" would be better?

Maybe. I named it FLAG_METADATA first, but then started wondering
whether people wouldn't associate it with just AVFrame.metadata rather
than all other 'meta' fields.
More opinions on this (and also the exact definition of this flag)
welcome.

I usually name these filters "utility filters".

Note that there are also "information filters" that modify neither the
frame data nor the metadata and just extract and prints information. (We
still need a framework to let users reliably extract that information,
just printing in the log is not sustainable, and neither is each filter
inventing it own solution. But that would require an unified efficient
string API.)
