Dota must contain tons of imported stuff, triggers customs units, abilities, etc. How can it have such a fast loading?

Search for "Vexorian's Map Optimizer".
In the case of one of my maps, it quite noticeably improves loading time from about 50 seconds down to around 20.
It also has the added benefit of making the map smaller in file size and (optionally) protecting the map from being edited by other people.

Actually no...things are a bit different.
First of all, all buildings and units are created when map time is 0.00 so it doen't take more time on loadscreen.
About terrain i'm not sure..they might actually make it also when game starts.About their modes..that's pretty simple too.
For example, -rd or random draft create lots of heroes and only the attempt to load so many heroes would provoke huge lag, so they load them as buildings and when you choose them then they load the units.
About hero abilities or skills, these are imported as .slk files.
