Just to be clear, it's not a file. It's a table. And, sorry but I have to ask, how does the simple existence of a table help you with determining if the file exists before you try to import it?
Presumably one could check the table to see whether a file of the same name had already been imported, but I agree, it won't do anything to determine the actual existence of the file. I'm not so sure that the purpose of the table is to track imported files though; it looks more like a table that holds data about other tables to me - a metadata table if you will.
