Yeah with DXF files it's a similar kind of thing as with 3DM files in that there are a lot of different kinds of data that can be contained in a DXF file, including 2D drafting type data but also polygon mesh data as well.
MoI's use of DXF format is primarily oriented around 2D drawing entities, it will read in LINE, CIRCLE, ARC, POINT, ELLIPSE, SPLINE, and POLYLINE type entities from the DXF file.
Most likely those DXF files do not contain any of these specific types of data, they probably also contain polygon facet data which MoI does not try to read.
Usually for editing polygon mesh data you would need to use a polygon mesh editing program to work with that kind of data, although for the particular case of a relatively low polygon model that is actually intended to be faceted (rather than approximating a smooth surface with some huge pile of little tiny facets), you can use the MeshToNURB command in Rhino to convert the polygon mesh into a set of trimmed planar NURBS surfaces.
