With the Playtest looming in the short distance, I'm wondering what the possibilities will be.
I was under the assumption that the Playtest would allow you to use it for homebrew campaigns. Perhaps, I'm wrong and the Playtest will miss a few important features, such as leveling. Is there any new information that I've missed?
Or will it be an entire year of focused testing with similar advetures such as Doomsday Dawn?

The playtest core rulebook of PF2e will have all the info similar to the core rulebook of PF1e. So yeah, you can use that for your homebrew campaign.
It's the feedback part that will not be supported during the playtest.
The Feedback is linked, and mostly limited, to Doomsday Dawn and the scenarios for PFS, as far as we know.
There was talk of a 'general feedback'-survey regarding PF2e and how it plays, but the devs are mostly interested in all of us playing Doomsday Dawn, as that likely has built in benchmarks for the rules.
These just will not likely relate to anything in your homebrew campaign.
Additionally, if your homebrew is 'Low fantasy' or 'Steampunk fantasy' or any other flavor, that doesn't quite match Golarion, that would further screw with the playtest-data the devs want to aquire.
Paizo definitely read the forums. If you have valuable feedback, posting it here will likely get back to them.
I suspect the first few weeks will be a flood of feedback.
Some will be high quality, some not so much.

Thanks for your response. I'll use the 'engine' of the RPG, but it isn't set in the exact same world as Golorian but with a lot of approximations if particular rules require a particular Golarian aspect. Homebrew was maybe the wrong word.
And, of course, we'll play Doomsday Dawn, but due to the hectic schedules of my group it'll most likely not be possible to participate in all the focus-testing.
