Ah, I see. I think it is a misunderstanding of what is a macro and what is
an object. Macros are something like functions (in POV-Ray) that can
generate scene parts from abstract algorithms. This is what the TriColor
macro does. It generates triangles and puts them into a mesh object, and the
mesh object is a POV-Ray scene object.
Usually third party applications that export to POV-Ray do not output
anything else then plain POV-Ray scenes.
I am not aware of any program that can do the conversion you need
automatically. If there would be such a program it could probably do all
steps (meaning that you wouldn't need the TriColor macro at all) and output
a new scene file. Sorry!
