We've considered using Vault, but setting up a server was too much of a hassle for our tech department due to logistical reasons..
Just as anticipated, yes the integration of WindChill into Inventor is good to go (as far as I can tell, i didn't completely battle test it but it does have the same feel). PTC is the maker of Creo (formerly Pro/Engineer) and WindChill is a PTC product. The integration to the 'third party' software packages are the same for the most part.

I use PTC's Creo and WindChill at work. There is a little bit more functionality with this set up than the 'third party' applications. I was very pleased with the WindChill implementation of SolidWorks; and now Inventor.

Look through this other thread for my other posts on how to setup a WindChill account for the team and download the workgroup manager for Inventor.
