  You should have the wv package installed.
  If you have, after Edit->Reconfigure lyx will show you the option to
import word documents.

  That means the import is done using external tools.

  There was a thread in this mailing list the past month discussing exactly
that, please search the archives.

  Since lyx uses external filters to convert between formats, this is not
matter of lyx version involved.

  No unless it is an external program and/or library. And as far as I know
that is not the case, but I could be wrong. :-)
