Your question sounds like containing several ones to me. First there is
no place where the conversion from a format to another happens, it's a
sequence of:
  * Import via a filter (read)
  * Layout
  * Export via another filter (save)

As for the filters code (which is what you seem to want):
  * docx and rtf import is located in the whole writerfilter module (and
bits in oox)
  * doc import is located in sw/source/filter/ww8/ww8par*.{h,c}xx
  * docx, rtf, doc export is located in sw/source/filter/ww8
  * odt import and export is split between the xmloff module and
sw/source/filter/xml
  * export as ascii text happens in
sw/source/filter/ascii/wrtasc.{h,c}xx and
sw/source/filter/ascii/ascatr.cxx

I hope this will answer your question.
