It seems there is some pretty bad rubbing on the rotor. I have checked my caliper and it seems that it is okay and there doesnt seem to be any abnormal wear on the pads. Something I was told to check was the hub bearing assembly, how would I do that? And is that even the right route to go?

You may have has a stone jambed in the caliper and it has now ground down and fallen out, this is not uncommon, best to get the brakes checked out by a trained mechanic just to make sure that there is nothing amiss.
