It reduces the latency a little bit as you only have the distance between two points, rather than the longer path that it would take for a signal to travel in a cable.
In addition the speed of light is on the order of 30% slower traveling through a fiber optic cable than through a vacuum. This probably will be where the biggest gain in latency will be.
