I've exported a 2D drawing from Sketchup which consist of not filled shapes made with lines. I want to keep the exact dimensions and manipulate it in Inkscape, so I imported it using Vector Magic. The problem is that it "translates" the lines as shapes themselves; i.e., it fills their thickness as if they were actual shapes:

Is there anything I can do in Inkscape (please don't mention other software) to have those lines as just mere lines/strokes without any fill or thickness?

What you want is 'Centerline Trace'. Inkscape provides a tutorial (though it's for Windows) on their site here:
inkscape.org/en/~arpruss/%E2%98%85centerline-trace-on-windows-instructions
There's also a repo on Github here:
github.com/fablabnbg/inkscape-centerline-trace
Centreline trace pretty much does what the name says. It'll create a line from tracing along the middle of a filled object. It should do exactly what you need.
