They do. The UI to do this is apparently only included in the VisionOS version of the Photos app. But you can convert any photo in your album to "Spatial Format" as long as it has a Depth Map, or is high enough resolution for the ML approximation to be good enough.

It also reads EXIF to "scale" the image's physical dimensions to match the field of view of the original capture, so wide-angle photos are physically much larger in VR-Space than telephoto.

In my opinion, this button and feature alone justifies the $4000 I spent on the device. Seeing photos I took with my Nikon D7 in 2007, in full 3D and correct scale, triggers nostalgia and memories I've forgotten I had for many years. It was quite emotional.

Apple is dropping the ball on not making this the primary selling-point of Vision Pro. It's incredible.
