What is the intended difference between those?

The second one looks odd, because
- xlsx-file is never used
- there doesn't appear to be any link from the CSV output from 'file' 
(presumably in a file whose name is derived from 'file') and the 
'csv-file' content that org then imports (in a file whose name is 
derived from the current buffer).
