Using Inkscape
You can use a png from Inkscape. Use png format which keeps transparency, not jpeg
Do not Save-as-png in Inkscape use the Export PNG File option.
The important bit is determine the required size in pixels (remember Gimp works in pixels) before exporting. You will lose quality in Gimp if you scale up or down.
Do not worry too much about the dpi setting, it is the size in pixels that matters.
Might look like this in Inkscape: https://i.imgur.com/FkZYtyD.jpg and Opened as a new layer in Gimp https://i.imgur.com/601qopV.jpg
However, always a however, the whole point of vector drawing is the format is scale-able up or down without loss of quality. Save your image as a .svg file. In Gimp it gives the option to adjust the size before the image is converted to raster.
