Bug I tried it (File > Open) and I'll be danged if it didn't import the midi file and retain the tempo and meter! (see picture below) I'll be using Logic for a lot of stuff in the future anyway but it's good to know I can open a midi file in GarageBand to quickly audition a song.

You have to go to File > Open and then select a midi file to import it in this manner though. I learned that Logic Pro X will import standard midi files and will retain the song's tempo and meter.
