I can't say. We never did use this workaround; we developed something quite different, utterly unrealted to CSS sheets, @imported stylesheet, etc.
To be frank, I believed that s/he simply got lucky. There have been periods since April 2015, when this started, where--for reasons no one understands--the import will work sans workarounds. For a day or two, and then go back to not working. One guy at KDP (forums) is convinced he's a genius, because he uses font calls, in his CSS, for existing device-embedded fonts, and it seems to work. (I've seen this fail more times than I have digits).
I can also say that we recently did a job for someone who had rather determinedly learnt HTML, XHTML, and CSS (and INDD), only to fall at the last hurdle. He Googled this to death; he tried this @import workaround, and he too did not have any success. I'm not dissing what went into this, nor saying that it doesn't work--I'm simply reporting what I've seen myself or been told in first-person.
