Did you specify the units as Centimeters when you imported the survey file? The units of the Revit project will not change the physical size of objects because Revit understands real world size. We are the same height regardless of the tape measure we use right? So Revit is the same. AutoCAD however is ambiguous regarding real world size and depends on us to decide what a unit really is.

It all boils down to the real units that your civil file is using, make sure the units of the file are really CM and not Meters etc. Then import the dwg again choosing the correct units or just change the properties of the dwg you already have loaded via its Type Properties. Once the dwg is properly imported at the correct size, recreate your topography.
