A quick search on Google will find you lots of commentary but the easiest way to do it is use Lightroom's Aperture importer. It will do it and leave your existing Aperture Library untouched. Be prepared to have some tidying up to do afterwards.

Is it true that only the original photos are imported into Lightroom, not those that have been edited (cropped/retouched/etc) in Aperture?

You can migrate either the originals or the edited ones (or both but you would have two copies in LR which is probably not a good solution) - it is up to you
