Does Intel VMD have any benefits on Linux or VMs?

I didn't find any official information on Intel VMD other than this doc page, which says "Intel® Volume Management (Intel® VMD) Direct Assign is a new HCI storage architecture to bypass hypervisor resources, delivering NVMe performance and Intel VMD functionality directly to the Virtual Machines". So does it improve performance in VMs? I found discussions sayings its mainly for Optane drives and RAID.
