Possible to import an SVG file like the following, and preserve the text?

No. Text is currently not imported from SVG (only geometry).

Luckily SVG is a open standard so if you needed to do this often it could probably be done for plain text stripping out fonts etc.
However once you get into all the rendering options SVG can do that would take a bit more coding.
