If you are on macOS try MyDataMerge (https://mydatamerge.com) There's a (reduced) free version. It's capable of doing data merges with image URLs (will download the images for you). Additionally you can setup image alignment and fitting per image frame individually.

I wrote a simple VBA program in Excel which

1 Goes though all picture links, extracts the names of the pictures and downloads them to a local folder

2 Changes all links to point to the local versions

3 Saves the resulting file as a csv-file, ready to be imported in InDesign

No, the image needs to be available locally. You can script curl or socket operations to download the photos locally then point to that path.
