While technically correct (Inkscape can't edit the PNG file itself (or any other supported raster image formats), instead the image is linked or embedded into an empty SVG document structure), the dialog is confusing.
A better solution would be the reorganization of the 'Open…' and 'Import…' dialogs: - open supported vector formats, - import supported raster image formats, similar to the blueprint "Sort out Save as vs Export formats" <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/save-as-vs-export>.
