Terribly wrong, indeed. You do not bring anything "into Base". You just
connect a Base file to an existing database by means of a vendor
specific database driver in order to use the connected database in
LibreOffice. No conversion. No translation. No import. No data copy.

You establish the connection, see the connected database in Base (which
does not store any data), build some meaningful queries and dump the
data into Calc or Writer.
To some extent this is development work too as outlined in the linked
kMyMoney manual. By default kMyMoney stores all data in some file which
is not a relational database and therefore is not accessible by external
tools. First of all you would have to reconfigure kMyMoney to store all
data in a relational database of your choice.

Without any knowledge you jump right into your own little software
project. Reading books or attending classes is the first step. Then you
may be able to handle .qif files and relational databases. "Learning by
doing" does not work with things like these.
