I checked region in control panel and it is set to comma. 

Is it a setting on my excel/PC that is the issue if you can import it? I can try import it on another PC

Thanks for explaining. 
I tried redownloading and with the "," LISP command but didn't help, and I assume changing the delimiter is the ";" in the top 3 lines of csv file, I tried that too and still same error. 

When I changed delimiter to ";" it "imported 0 files" which at least isn't an error. Not that it helps me :(

I see. Please load the new version from Download - it will show what delimiter it expects in the CSV2layer command (it is aligning the delimiter to your Windows settings to keep it compatible with Excel).
If it is not "," - you can either change it by pasting the above LISP command into your AutoCAD command line, or you can change the delimiter you are using in the CSV file.

No it should be English. 
I know nothing about code or scripts so I am not sure what LISP is and how to change the delimiter.

Do you use German version  of Windows? Your list delimiter is probably set to ";", not to ",". Try to use this LISP command before you import the CSV file:

(setq _CSVdelimiter ",")
