Here is my thought. I am starting Libreoffice 6.05.2. No templates. I 
happen to have a folder containing all of my created templates. Then, I 
used Manage Templates as you did. That is when I clicked the Import 
button. First I selected My Templates as the place where I wanted to 
import them. I browsed to my template "repository" and selected all of 
the templates I wanted and imported all of them at one time. Like you 
said, when the selection on the Manage Templates page was All 
categories, I saw all of the templates: mine as well as all of the 
others. And as you said, selecting "My Templates" shows only mine.

Here is something that I also discovered that you might also consider. I 
closed Manage Templates. Then I reopened it. It opened at "My 
Templates". I have a feeling that whatever choice you use as to what 
type of templates you want to see is the same thing you will see the 
next time. I have done this twice with the same result.

I have also create more categories by going to the template folder you 
mentioned above. I created a subfolder there to contain templates with a 
similar property. Then I moved them into it. When I opened "Manage 
Templates" again, the name of that folder appeared in the drop down 
list. I suppose this is called organization...
