What does the "_" mean in your example?

It's a bNode (but one with a local name so you can reference it in multiple places. Could equally well have been:

[] a owl:Ontology ; owl:imports <http://example.org/namingOntology> .
:JohnDoe a owl:NamedIndividual .

If you don't have those declarations in ontology, then you'll need to import 
some ontology that does.  E.g.,

_:ont a owl:Ontology .
_:ont owl:imports <http://example.org/namingOntology> .
:JohnDoe a owl:NamedIndividual . # if namingOntology declares :JohnDoe, you won't need 
this triple here :JohnDoe :hasName "John Doe" .

So yes, in general, if you've got an ontology O that declares some vocabulary, 
then a dataset that's based on that vocabulary should import O.
