You are correct in your suspicion that NO, it's currently not possible 
to "import" an NBU image file that resides on disk.  

The import process relies on the fact that the on-tape image is 
preceded by a backup header that contains the image metadata. (policy, 
client type, etc) A disk image has no such metadata stored anywhere 
outside of the catalog itself.
