Would they not have to be, if the owner were to register them in the country?
In the US they would, unless they get an exception (which generally means they are not cars and cannot be used on roads, though there are other ways to get an exception: none would apply to anything mass market)
I don't know what EU rules are.
Eu rules are the same.
Golf carts, ATVs, UTVs commonly are allowed on roads under various local rules despite not meeting safety rules for road vehicles.
I think generally, if the car is a make and model that has previously passed inspections, they don’t need to be re-inspected? For instance, you don’t generally run into a situation where your ford focus is inspected, because that make and model is already “well known” so to speak.
Haha, no.

The Chinese cars by Chinese manufacturer are generally getting excellent safety rating. Most of them get 5 stars on NCAP crash test.
On the other hand the Renault Zoe, one of the best selling European car by a european manufacturer got a 0 star on the same crash test. It's not an isolated case, the e-c3 got a 0 star on the latin american test, I'm waiting to see what will be the score in Europe.
I'm not saying that Chinese car are better but the bad reputation is not justified anymore. Europeans automakers should get their shit together if they want to survive.
