Yeah this is because Illustrator does not read in layers from PDF files.

But it will read in layers from AI files, so if you want to get layers to go into Illustrator you'll want to use .ai format for the transfer and not PDF.

Can you test the above AI file (download both the .ai and the background image which is a linked image inside the .ai file) and see if the layers come through ok for you using that format instead?

I may be able to do something with making groups too, but probably having the layers come through using AI format will do what you need as far as making them targetable.
