The Viral damage itself is still effected by armor reduction yes, if the Viral procs then the enemy will be left with 50% of its health regardless of the amount of armor it has. This can be very helpful if you're able to proc Slash effects or are using Viral in combination with Corrosive and another element (like Heat for Grineer). Right now, the best weapon to do this, imo, is Tysis which is a status monster and has innate Corrosive damage.
