Short Answer: DOCX files are not in ODF format.

Longer Answer:

 1. There is such information in the ODF 1.2 Specification Parts 1 and 3. 
However, it will not help with correctly recognizing a DOCX file in LO or OOo. 
There is a separate International Standard on the OOXML format used by DOCX 
and how Zip is used as part of that.

Oops!

 2. (Note, some DOCX files are encrypted OOXML documents, and that is actually 
a different format described in a different specification, even though the 
file will still have the .docx extension ending its name.)

 3. There is some indication that mobile applications are not necessarily 
producing the DOCX that LO/OOo is expecting.  It may be non-standard. 
Whatever it is, MS Office is forgiving about it.

I found an on-line validator at
<http://www.document-interoperability.com/validator>

When I fed it the original OfficeSuite-created file, it said,

Inspecting ZIP ...
     Mismatch between local header and central record (weakened ZIP
resilience)

Checking OPC Package ...
     Entry with MIME type
"application/vnd.openxmlformats-package.core-properties+xml" has
unrecognized relationship type
"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/relationships/metadata/core-properties";
(see ISO/IEC 29500-1:2008, Clause 15.2.12.1)
     1 problem found with OPC package


The one which resulted when I opened the original in 2010 Office and did
a "Save As" gave this:

Checking OPC Package ...
     Entry with MIME type
"application/vnd.openxmlformats-package.core-properties+xml" has
unrecognized relationship type
"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/relationships/metadata/core-properties";
(see ISO/IEC 29500-1:2008, Clause 15.2.12.1)
     1 problem found with OPC package

Hmmm...same as the original.

The one that was created with Libre Office as a brand new file had the
same message as the one created with the Android app!!!!
