Unlike the other Office apps, H&Fs were added to address a specific problem.
The "Visio" way has always been to use background pages. What Philippe is
referring to is the Field option from the Insert menu. H&Fs have a limited
range of items that can be placed in a H&F. Anything that can be placed on a
page can be placed on a background page. If you place a field on a
background page, it reflects the information associated with the foreground
page. For example, you can place the page name on a background page and
every foreground page the background page is attached to shows the page name
of the foreground page in the same position.

As to why H&Fs were added? It was to address the situation of when a Visio
page has to physically print over many physical pages. If the Visio page and
the printed page are the same size, H&Fs are redundant when a background
page exists.
