I guess your problem is the following:

Often when you import a mesh, you get a container GameObject and a child GameObject with the actual mesh-component attached.

Vertex snapping only works when a GameObject with a mesh-component is selected.

No, that's not true. If you select an empty GameObject in the scene you can snap it to any vertex in the scene. Just move it around by grabbing the center gizmo and while dragging press and hold "V"

Well, you're answer is right if you mean to change the "grabbing" point to a vertex of the selected GameObject before moving.
