I exported a pre-made custom brawl level and made a level with stage studio. i opened them both in notepad and though they were probably encoded, even a blind man can tell the difference. the file exported from brawl had Japanese characters all over it. the stage studio level didn't have a single one... so the whole file format is different. in conclusion, dolphin and stage studio will remain incompatible until dolphin learns brawl's ways of NTSC.
(probably)
