I agree it's a lot of work, but it might be worth it if you were, say, creating your wireframes in one tool and then annotating them in another. Visio's not that great for annotation, I've found, partially due to lack of good typography and unsophisticated layer management.
Most of the time I still do my annotations in Visio, though, since I'm using that for wireframes and sitemaps. But if it's for a bigger document, such as a pitch document, that's being created in InDesign, it's useful to know how to put drawings from Visio into that document.
