i'm not sure i understand: do you want to create a new export filter, or 
use the existing filters via UNO?

for storing a loaded document with a certain export filter, see:

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/OfficeDev/Storing_Documents

for creating a new export filter, you need to implement an 
css.document.ExportFilter service; start here:

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/OfficeDev/Filter

here the document css.frame.XModel is given as parameter to 
setSourceDocument, and you can use UNO API to pull out the content.

except if you can implement the filter in XSLT with ODF as the source, 
then it is much easier and you don't need to write any UNO stuff.
