Alright, I need some help here because I'm about to throw my computer out of the window...
I have a camera animation in Maya, and the camera zooms on an object, so I want the parameters to change, and the focus point to be on that object, with a nice DoF... I cannot find a way to setup this, because Octane camera settings don't match with the Maya ones.
The only parameters that matches is the Field of View/Angle of View.
Where do I set the Aperture and Focal Depth in Maya???

All Octane camera attributes are in Octane camera rollout of Maya's camera.

Her... I don't have the Octane plugin for Maya, so there is no Octane camera rollout...

JimStar? What can I do?

You can buy Octane plugin.

Right now you are trying to use Maya's own alembic export which is nothing to do with Octane plugin. And you are exporting the Maya's camera, which is nothing to do with Octane camera. So, Maya exports its camera on its own... Octane standalone knows nothing about most of the Maya's camera attributes - so you get what you get.

Buying the Maya plugin just to been able to export Maya camera into the Standalone makes absolutely no sense. It's like buying a second car, just to take off the windscreen wipers and put them on my first car...
With Octane v1, there was a Maya script to properly export the camera... If I have to buy something, I'd rather buying a custom Alembic exporter for Octane.

+++++++1 we need Maya to octane camera plug in
