To be fair, I know no more than what is presented on that page.
Basically though, the CMake file will be a part of the VS solution, but no 
separate step is required. You can even configure the CMake project within VS 
(using a .json file) and the targets show up as normal VS targets. For building 
as well as debugging.
Plus you get all the auto-complete functionality in the editor both for 
CMakeLists.txt as well as the CMakeSettings.json file.

It certainly looks like a very comprehensive solution.
