States refer to the different combinations of information that an object can hold not how the object behaves. Since visio has no model semantics but just a pure drawing it s completely irrelevant which connector you use unless it has the form solid line open arrow to one side where the transition goes. A state machine is any device that stores the status of an object at a given time and can change status or cause other actions based on the input it receives.
Only if you re using a uml modeling tool you can distinguish between different connectors since they have a meta type and various attributes which then controls the rendering.
