Yes and No. It isn't "cheating" since it's included in the game. However, you could be "cheating" yourself.
It would be too conservative to say we don't need "Show all Hotspots" option. However, if you're scanning each screen first thing you enter it, you could be losing on some satisfactory moments. Part of the fun and even part of the puzzle IS deducing important things on screen. Overdo it, and you get hidden-object games. When it's a sloppy work, we get pixel-hunting. So it really depends on the game. What i try to do is not use the option until i feel stuck or to double-check whether i fully inspected a location the first time.
