Indeed, the auto-binding feature of the VariableImporter makes it possible to name the object in the Layers panel and have it be automatically bound to the corresponding column in the data-sheet, by column-title.

Make Text Dynamic in the UI creates a variable and binds the text frame to said variable, which is the same thing the Variable Importer Script does. To autobind the variables with each text frame using the script, you would have to name the text frames using the same names as the column titles in the csv file.
