It doesn't manage traffic caused by the router itself. If you can avoid this
though, you're right, just make sure you filter router's traffic on the LAN
side too.
Even a router without much functionality often provides DNS proxy, ssh or
http(s) access, which is already its own traffic and IMQ helps in that case.

Because shaping is more than policing ;-)
