What file format utilises this "Import POI" function?

You mean the "Open POI" menu ?

Those are ready poi files used for offline search.

We build them in Mapsforge download server:
http://download.mapsforge.org/

Also OpenAndroMaps provides poi files in:

Yop. Exactly these.

I looked into one of them and found that these are SQLite3 with RTree.

Is there any documentation on their scheme?

You can check POI documentation page in Mapsforge site.
https://github.com/mapsforge/mapsforge/blob/dev/docs/POI.md

Along with instructions for building your own poi files.
