Is it possible to convert / import existing VVF to VCF? If so is it officially documented?

yes it is, simply treat a VVF as an existing vCenter and Operations Manager in the Installer UI and import them - did it in my lab.

In case that you already have VVF 9 you need to deploy SDDC Manager and follow the brown zone procedure to upgrade to VCF (Choose existing vCenter and VCF Operations if already exists)
