Inconsistency. If you follow your procedure, you can insert in a writer doc, say, two graphics objects copied from draw. You can click and shift-click to select them, and align them, rotate them (albeit via a spin box) and do all the interesting graphics things. At least, you can sometimes. If you Insert | Graphics | From File..., then you're stuck. You can't select more than one, and you can't rotate them. Nor do you get the position & size menu option. Oh, and the 'sometimes' I mention above seems related to whether you have only copied draw selections, or both those and included graphics from files. The test document I've been playing with as I write this is actually somewhat inconsistent in this respect. If you do things the other way around, and copy text from writer into draw, you get a text object that behaves differently from draw's native text box. You get writer's selection of fields (although the page count is afaict always 1), but no rotation, where the native draw text box has a limited set of fields but does allow rotation.
