Yes. GarageBand can open mp3 audio files. Just open an empty project and drag the audio file to an empty space in the Track area to create an audio track from the file. But what kinds of edits do you want to do? You can trim the audio region, cut out parts you do not want, adjust the volume.

I have been able to drag the file to an empty project but cannot see how to trim, split, etc?

Which version of GarageBand do you have installed? GarageBand 6.0.5 or GarageBand 10.1?
