Unfortunately, the things you saw in Revit API are unavailable with Model Derivative API. The Model Derivative API is a common-facing service that extracts partial metadata from the source model file, and geometries data will be simplified into meshes.

If you want Revit API perspective data, I would advise you to use Design Automation API for Revit instead. You can write addin using Revit API to extract instances' location(insertion points) and rotation info.
