If we have an opening in our robot's BUMPER PERIMETER to allow game pieces to enter - with a roller or conveyer for example - then this roller is outside the BUMPER ZONE.

Not necessarily. Your BUMPER ZONE extends
through your robot, everywhere between 1 and 7 inches from the floor.

Should another robot's corner enter this opening, and the contact with the other robot is further back inside the robot than the BUMPER PERIMETER, then that contact is illegal.

It could be. If you contact another robot, above (or conceivably below) it's BUMPER ZONE, and inside it's BUMPER PERIMETER, the contact is illegal.
Remember though, that the other alliance cannot make you commit a penalty. If they contact you, it's not held against you.
