As far as I have experienced, memoQ automatically imports hided cells.
I just tried your way using the same file but when I exported and clicked on "unhide", both "source" and "target" column were translated/overwritten and there was no source text.
I am using memoQ 2014 by the way.

You can 'Import With Options' and then go to the above-mentioned 'Change filter and configuration' pane, then check the 'Skip hidden rows and columns' checkbox. You have to change it just once.
However, your method is still the simplest one. If your column B is all empty, you do not need to change anything in your workflow.
That said, I do totally agree with Philippe in all other regards. Another day, you may get a more complicated task with cells partially populated. From there, you will definitely have to deal with configuration settings, etc.
