PIAs are just intermidiate files that are used in transferring/marshalling calls between mananged/unmanaged boundaries. For example, they are used to convert managed types to unmanaged ones. You can generate them on your own without VS involved. Under the hood, VS uses the same tools to generate them when you add an unmanaged references (COM).

You can read more about PIAs in the Office Primary Interop Assemblies section in MSDN.
