In 3ds Max, go the Import Changes from Chaos Vantage tool button. For information on how to pin the button in the toolbar, see the Import Changes from Vantage script page.

Select the requisites you want to import from the options. In this example, we leave the options to their defaults.

Click the Import button and select the exported .vantage file. Click Open. Note that the "Import Changes from Vantage" window does not close automatically.

Now, all cameras from the config file are imported into 3ds Max.
