As the subject says Vegas won't by any chance use the
.mkv I converted to .avi using this method :

Anyone have any ideas as to why that is?
I'm not getting any error messages or anything, it just won't accept them for some reason.
Vegas just won't accept my newly converted .avi :/

Well during my quick browse of that link I'd say your .avi file is encoded with xvid which being a lossy codec creates issues for video editing programs. I'd grab virtual dub (a program available in the amvapp in the guides section of this site) and convert it to huffyuv or another virtually lossless codec.
Incidentally if you want to make sure it's xvid you can just click file information in virtualdub or indeed just right-click and check the properties of the file in windows explorer.
