I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The _hw.tcl file describes the GUI that gets displayed when you click "Add" and how the system should interface to your component. The HDL code is your component.

I usually place custom components in a subdirectory of my project or in a central location where others can access them...depending on how useful I think they'll be.

In order to bring your component into your new project, you need to change your SOPC Builder search path to include it and or just copy the subdirectory into your project. I've never used the "Import" option and don't even know what it does, but I don't believe it to be necessary.
