I've followed the docs on setting up remote import both with and without using the MySQL setup. Both worked. But if granting MySQL access from target-host to the source-host is not necessary to import sites, what is the purpose?

This issue also suggests that the MySQL option should not be used for remote servers (although I did not encounter any such issues when I followed the docs including the MySQL option).

Could/should the MySQL part be removed from the REMOTE docs?

This how-to assumes that you are using FQDN/hostname (not localhost) based db grants, as it was used in BOA in the past (to support remote DB server feature we finally never fully introduced). Now, since BOA uses localhost based grants on new installs, these steps seems to be no longer needed. Still, there are many BOA instances based on the old design and they are often candidates for this feature use, so we didn't "simplify" the docs (yet).
