I recently bought BBS Widebody (A330 and 340). The FMC data is from 2012 and I would need Navigraph to update the files. I believe that I'd need to do the same for my QW 146/RJ FMCs also. I don't think there's any other way.

I presume I would still use online flight planner or flightplan database to create plans to input into the FMCs because the Navigraph subscription "only" gives me the correct database. Is that correct?

I use Herve Sors navdata to update the sim (airports and navaids).

Yes, that's correct, as long as the online flight planner or flight plan database is using the same up-to-date AIRAC cycle as you've imported from Navigraph.

U bought BBS - attaboy ! 😄

not exactly ...... the real "crunch" is reconciling your charts with your airac.

up-to-date most probably, but at least concurrent .... & you may "fly" in a region where there's no change in the medium term to an airac and / or charts

it's easier / simpler if you 'fly" one aircraft ..... my 77W / pfpx / topcat / asp3d / voxatc all use 1913 as nothings changed on the charts (??) since ZBAD opened (?)

Navigraph subscription with chart could (on extra fee) will also gives you a world map you can plan or import plan into (not out to aircraft yet)

also Navigraph include data for QSimplanner and Littlenavmap(both are free), both can do the planning with it's data (and offline), then export to FS and aircraft)
