It is still true. The latest version of the plugin continues to accept KFX-ZIP as an input format for conversion. In addition it can accept either monolithic KFX format or KPF format (generated by Kindle Create) for conversion.
As with the previous version of the plugin, users have the option of creating a ZIP file of the book components (with a .kfx-zip extension) and then importing that. The latest plugin version also allows the user to just import the main KFX file of the book without the need to create a ZIP file first. The plugin will gather the other files that make up the book and produce a KFX-ZIP automatically during import.
As a separate step it will then take the KFX-ZIP and combine it into a monolithic KFX file. This step was added so that import results in a format that is suitable for purposes other than just conversion. A monolithic KFX file can be sideloaded to a Kindle device or viewed using the Kindle Previewer.
In any case it is up to the user to remove DRM before importing. I am still hopeful that the DeDRM software will someday be updated to automatically remove DRM from KFX-ZIP format during the import process, but there is no sign that anyone is working on that.
