Input Maya geo into the HDA and use it to instance it

I would like to input Maya geometry into the HDA, which then will do it's magic, like placing that 1 geo 100 times, and then instance it when baked.

Turns out it's really easy to bake instanced models.

Pack your geometry in Houdini, with for example copy to points.
Open your HDA in Maya and untoggle: "Use Instance Node".

Now when baked the models will be instanced in Maya.
