This is a useful info! xdvipdfmx accepts 3 ways of
loading the graphics/graphicx package.
\usepackage[dvipdfm]{graphics}
means you can include PDFs, JPGs and PNGs if you
supply bounding box informations (e.g. .bb files).
\usepackage[dvipdfmx]{graphics}
means in addition to the above, you can include EPSs
The bounding box information for a EPS can be directly
read from the file, so you don't have to supply .bb
files for EPSs. *AND*, for images in other formats,
compilers erroneously considers them as EPSs if bounding
boxes are not available.
\usepackage[xetex]{graphics}
is equivalent to
\usepackage{graphics}
and you can include PDFs, JPGs and PNGs without
supplying bounding box informations with this option.
However, you cannot include EPSs.

xdvipdfmx includes PDFs directly. It can convert EPSs
into PDFs on the fly to include them.
