Dont do anything with Bondo. You'll need to weld to fix up the rust spots on your car. It wont be cheap.

If it is just surface rust that needs to be fixed, I would just grind it down provided there is still a good amount of metal there and use a thin coat of good quality body filler to smooth it out. I'm leaving a few important steps out here ;)
I would say if theres any holes, that yeah you probably want to have them cut out and a new piece welded inplace, but I don't think any of your rust is that bad.

on your hatch.,...it is that bad. Body filler will only last a year before you need to cut it out and do it properly. Trust me, I redo my accords rear 1/4 panels every year with fiberglass & body filler. Its cheap, but, always comes back.
