In the template, the LaTeX code for inserting figure and table floats are commented out with % characters at the beginning of the lines, that's why it gets imported as ERT. Just insert figure and table floats in the usual way using the LyX frontend, it will generate the LaTeX code for you. LyX generates standard LaTeX for this, and the template also uses standard LaTeX here (as opposed to their formatting for the title and authors), so this should not be a problem.
