For Acura the big question is whether Honda badge up a car to take on Toyota. That's the dream but I wouldn't be surprised if it remains US-only.

I think it's a completely different approach, honda looks at gt500 and IMSA/indycar programs like a way to promote honda/acura brand in domestic japanese and USA market, following basically the old motto: win on sunday, sell on monday. I don't think they are really interested in something much bigger and huge effort/budget demanding like a WEC program.
I don't even think there will be real private acura lmdh actually, likely there will be one or two teams backed by the manufacturer running in IMSA as ever happened. The same can be said about mazda.
