If all your images have RGB profiles applied - you don't have to convert anything - they can do it themselves.
Unless you have professionally calibrated monitors, with calibrated lighting, you work in the room without windows, etc. and you are working on a super high tech art catalogue.
And you should rather do "conversion" in Photoshop.

Assuming that you copied that GRACOL 2013 icc profile to the correct folder with all the other icc profiles ...
C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color
Mac HD/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
You can either choose it from the drop-down or you may have to click Load Profile and browse to it. Preferably, you will choose this GRACOL 2013 profile in Photoshop > Edit > Color Settings, then you would synchronize it to InDesign via Bridge > Edit > Color Settings; or directly from InDesign > Edit > Color Settings.
I will also assume you are opening these images first in Photoshop to save as with correct color profile before placing into InDesign.

Whatever you'll do with those images - make sure to request a "proof" - kind of a test print made on the same paper - just in case. I've a strong feeling that you'll need it when working with this printer...

To add to Robert's advice--ask for a "contract proof". That is a proof that the printer guarantees will show exactly what the final job--espeically if on the same paper stock.
It might be too expensive to get on for every page but you can ask for one on the most critical pages.
