'Bake to polygon' takes an object made of several groups and simplifies it into a single mesh. For example, if you import a poser character into Vue, you should be able to select each individual body part as they are all part of a 'group'. If you bake that character to polygons, you end up with a single mesh and no way to select individual body parts (you can still access their materials but you cannot detach them from the character).
