Yes but I would like to avoid spending time doing that - I download them as ISO files and right now I play that ISO directly on my laptop with VLC.
I was hoping to play them directly on the Pi without spending time converting but it seems like I have to do that

In theory it should work even with menu navigation as some users reported but there is no guarantee.
This feature still required a lot of work and devs time. By devs I dont mean XBian devs or community but the whole XBMC world who is working on RPi

Not what I was hoping for, but your reply is greatly appreciated!
