Is it this simple? Do I need to just import, make changes and import bookmarks?
Substitute "export" for the first time "import" appears in that sentence and the, "Yes" it should work.

If you import an HTML backup then you merge bookmarks, so you would have to remove existing bookmarks.

I would personally first test such a modified file in a separate profile to be sure, but since you want to move bookmarks around then easiest to do this is in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) or do a cut and paste in the bookmarks sidebar.

You can see if opening one of these chrome URIs in a tab are useful for you:
chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul
chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksPanel.xul
