I hadn't heard of HoudahGeo before, so I looked it up. I think a trial will explain how it works pretty clearly.
Now, personally: I don't really care about geotagging my photos very often. When I want to be able to figure out where something was taken, I make a snap shot with my iPhone which automatically encodes and includes the GPS coordinates. I can then copy and paste them to any other photo as metadata in Lightroom.
