I think that the main thing here is that you need to operate on the Figure
rather than the Image. Also note that image and figure captions are
different:

   - An image caption is an Inlines list;
   https://pandoc.org/lua-filters.html#type-image
   - A figure caption is a Caption object, which has a long (Blocks list)
   caption with option short (Inlines list) caption;
   https://pandoc.org/lua-filters.html#type-figure

I'm not quite sure when or if you should use the short figure caption, but
am pretty sure that you do need to set the long figure caption.

Finally, a plug for the https://github.com/pandoc-ext/logging module, which
can help to shed light on the AST structure. With this document (I guessed
your input format):

![Figure 1: Cat](Cat.png)

...and with this lua filter (derived from yours):

local logging = require 'logging'

function Figure(fig)
    logging.temp('figure', fig)
end

function Image(img)
    logging.temp('image', img)
    local caption = pandoc.utils.stringify(img.caption)
    if (string.find(caption, 'Fig') ~= nil) then
        img.caption[1] = pandoc.Strong(img.caption[1])
        img.caption[3] = pandoc.Str(string.gsub(img.caption[3].text, ":",
"."))
        img.caption[3] = pandoc.Strong(img.caption[3])
        local fig_num_string = string.sub(
            pandoc.utils.stringify(img.caption[3]),1,2)
        local fig_num = math.floor(tonumber(fig_num_string))
        if (fig_num > 6) then
            img.caption[3] = pandoc.Strong("S" .. tostring(8-fig_num) ..
'.')
        end
        img.caption.long = pandoc.Strong('A')
        img.caption = pandoc.Strong('A')
    end
    logging.temp('->', img)
    return img
end

...you get this output:

% pandoc figure.md -L figure.lua

  attr: Attr {
    attributes: AttributeList {}
    classes: List {}
    identifier: ""

      }
    }

          [4] Space
          [5] Str "Cat"
        }
      }
    }
  }

          }
          caption: Inlines[1] {

              content: Inlines[1] {
                [1] Str "A"
              }
            }
          }
          src: "Cat.png"
          title: ""
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
