According to [1] the 'obf' file has a complex structure and consists
of 4 multiple parts:
(vector) map tiles, transport (routing), POI, adresses.
The OsmAnd styling seems to come with the Java binaries.

What is your use case to read such a specialized format into QGIS?

It's using OSM data, so why not taking the data directly from OSM e.g.
using HOT Export [2] or OSMaxx tools [3]?
