Is this still a working script and is there any documentation on this script? As in how to effectively use it?

Hi @brentEich, This was never an officially supported script and I am no longer working at Mendix so can't help you further. You can ask at the Mendix forum on how to import from your local workstation to a Mendix server environment.

Thank you for response I will get in contact with them.
