If you only need the settings in InDesign, you can use the "Edit > Color Settings..."" menu option, and then press the "Load..." button to navigate to the .csf file, and load it into InDesign.
If you are using any other CS app in this project (Illustrator, Photoshop,etc.), then you should probably load the settings into all the CS apps, by launching Adobe Bridge, and doing the same thing from the "Edit > Creative Suite Color Settings..." menu option in Bridge.
These joboptions are to be used with Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.
These will allow you to export directly to PDF without the use of Acrobat Distiller.
They will also convert RGB and tagged CMYK images to the destination CMYK colorspace
and will create 5mm bleed on all 4 edges.

you will need to modify the settings and add 5mm bleed all around.
