Exactly ;)
Difference with having it in just certain applications like Gnome-VFS etc is that it would work with all applications, over SMB shares etc. This is a great advantage and benefit for many desktop users but also in a corporate environment. Even though there are backups of users documents it is a pain to restore them every time they loose the original file. Besides, the backup is never as fresh either.
