No, the type systems are not even close to the same. The COM type system
doesn't have anything to do with the .NET one. The article you listed by my
good friend Mike Gunderloy shows that you have to "import" the type library
by using tlbiimp. It's not like import in the C++ days - this process is a
*conversion* from COM IDL data types to CLR data types. For a lot more on
the "why" and the differences between the two worlds, check out the first
article in my 5-part COM Interop series on MSDN:

So it is impossible to change my program in c++ that it can use C# dll's....

You asked >Is it possible to use COM server in c++ without importing *.tlb

I am answering the question based on the C++ being a COM component. If it is
a straight C++ unmanaged piece of code, you can use Managed C++'s ability to
mix unmanaged and managed C++ to write a managed wrapper such that that code
would be accessible to C# (and other .NET) clients.
