Of course you can use dataflow for custom modules. Basically in the examples above dataflow/convert_adapter_io will read any file, dataflow/convert_parser_csv will parse any data from csv file, and the only part that tells rows of data are going to be used to populate products are the adapter and method variables defined within dataflow/convert_parser_csv. You can create your custom adapter with for example saveRow method and within this method create new objects of whatever class you wish.
