How important is COM knowledge when going for an asp.NET job ?

Most companies will want to be rewritig their COM in .NET, and NOT
importing/interoperating with it.
Thus, it could be suggested, that .NET is way more important.

I would suggest that not much more than superficial COM knowledge is needed
as all you need to use the COM code for really is a spec - it's all going to
get rewritten in full.

Am I right or wrong ?

I agree that this is generally the case where IT needs to "rewrite" a
system. In this case the existing COM code / business logic is out of
date / obsolete. There is still a lot of "legacy COM code" so you need
to be able to create a COM interop wrapper DLL to call the COM code from
ASP.NET.

The .NET framework has a lot of utility / environment / machine related
information built in so this reduces the need for Utility COM
components.
