VisualEditor is an HTML editor and doesn't know about wikitext. All conversions between wikitext and HTML are done by Parsoid. You need Parsoid if you want to use VisualEditor on current wikis.
Implementing a HTML content type in mediawiki would be pretty trivial. That way, a page could "natively" contain HTML, with no need of conversion. Anyone up to doing it?...
There are extensions that allow raw HTML widgets, just putting them through unchecked. The hard part will be checking. Note that the rawness of the somewhat-filtered HTML is a part of WordPress's not so great security story (though they've had a lot less "update now!" in the past year). So, may not involve much less parsing.
