Are occupancy taxes in the Airbnb export my income?

Occupancy taxes that Airbnb collects and pays for you appear in the export without ever reaching you, so the converter does not count them in your payout. Where you collect and pay them yourself, ask your tax preparer how to record them.

Should I import payouts or reservations?

Match the bank with payouts, and record income from the reservations inside them. The journal entry does both: one entry per payout, with reservation income and fees as separate lines.

Which accounting software can I convert an Airbnb export for?

QuickBooks Online (CSV), QuickBooks journal entry, Xero (CSV) and Xero manual journal. Pick one under "Choose where it is going" for the export and import steps.
