1. Is it possible to use Visual Basic (that's inside Autocad MAP) to connect in with Autocad MAP FDO features? I understand that it's possible via Visual Studio, but that is an option that requires knowledge about dll files that I have to make references.
The Visual Basic inside AutoCAD/Map is called VBA (Visual Basic for Application), which is a specially customized Visual Basic development/run environment.
No, you cannot use VBA to work with AutoCAD Map's FDO functionality (except to use AcadDocument.SendCommand() to call some simple commands that may related to FDO operations).
The FDO related functionalities in AutoCAD Map are exposed with AutoCAD Map platform APIs, which is based on MS .NET framework. So, you need to know how to program with MS .NET framework (with Visual Basic.NET or C#).
2. I have windows 10, Autocad MAp 2016, and I tried to compile this solution. I got an error like it misses dbxHeader.h.
I would like to succesfully compile this, what steps I have to do to change the code?Anyone??

This is regarding an plain AUtoCAD, not necessarily AutoCAD Map. The code provided from the article you referred to is an ObjectARX C++ solution, which is meant for highly specialized professional AutoCAD programmers. It creates a custom entity in AutoCAD to hold the image. Judging from the question you asked (no offence), it might be too much to know/learn how to get the code complied/used. In most cases, you can just insert image into drawing as how AUtoCAD allows manually, which can also be done easily programmatically with Lisp, VBA...
