To be exhaustive, I have to mention that this is true only for cities that have a vector cadaster. 
Some cities (10% as an order of magnitude) have only a raster cadaster, in which case the mapper has to draw all the nodes and points manually.

That has been my case until now, and I wonder if this is considered as an import, as meant in the guideline.

If yes, then even drawing over bing or other imagery material would be an import too. I guess it's not wanted.

If no, it doesn't make any sense to me that a vector based process for the cadaster is an import, and a raster based is not. Everything is the same : kind of data, license, provider…

There seems to be a contradiction there.
