If you have not reviewed this article, check it out.

Article - CS368204 - How to set up an import profile to import multi body parts created in foreign CAD system with multiple bodies in a single part (ptc.com)

I followed the settings in Article CS368204, does not open as a "Solidworks Part file with multi-bodies"

- opens as an assembly with multi-bodies

I would suggest opening a call with PTC tech support if you believe that Creo is not operating to spec.

Note these conditions for opening SW files, if you have any import bodies then it will open as assembly in Creo.

When a SolidWorks part consists of the native body and one or more import bodies, the part explodes into an assembly during its import. The native body and the import bodies are imported as individual components of the exploded assembly, a component for each import body and the native body. A SolidWorks part with only import bodies, without geometry in the primary database, also explodes into an assembly on import, with a component for each import body. A SolidWorks part with a single import body, without a native body, is converted to a Creo part.
