That is not true. If the file is opened from an existing Calc window, it will
be opened in Calc too.

That is because this filter is import/export, and 'csv' is the extension for
export. I don't know if there can be more than one.

This filter uses 'Text' type, which is also used by Writer. So the detection
code contains a few simple heuristics that try to guess if the file should be
opened in Writer or Calc. I think a possible course of action is to define a
separate type for it, say 'Delimited Text'.

Possible workarounds: rename the file before opening it; open the file from an
existing Calc window.
