Yes, that's a new feature in v4 that the DXF importer will read in layers in the DXF file and make styles in MoI from them.

No, importing and exporting are pretty different things. MoI can export layers to AI v8 format but not read them in from AI as of yet.

It seems kind of unusual - are there other programs that use certain character sequences in filenames to trigger behavior like this?

I think it would be possible to make a plug-in that would behave like this.
