Yes. You can see it if you la

Not really, AFAIK. --ui _always_ brings up the actual module GUI. 
Normally, launching a module with just its name does the same, but for 
the import and export modules special treatments have been decided 
within the wxGUI. If you launch the same module in a terminal, you get 
the original (--ui) GUI.

I personally find this confusing and would have prefered a separate 
"Import wizard" entry in the GUI menu (with possible 
g.gui.vimport/rimport modules), but others have the feeling that this 
makes life easier for newcomers...

+1.

You will always get all options using --ui.
