You are right I did over state it. However, OpenNURBS does get you
import of a NURBS primitive in a predictable way. That is good to get
started. The BRL-Cad people started a few years ago to build on that
end ended up changing everything around to that way of processing
NURBS. So after you have the ability to pull in Rhino files you can
very easily move on to STEP and IGES which are the same basic form.
The hard part is the part that comes after OpenNURBS. You can crib
some of that off of the BRL-Cad people who already have the underlying
processing done.

I should be more specific
