...no. They'll simply siege you instead of trying to snatch babies, so you'll get them as early as your first year. They're still normal sieges.

Where'd you get the idea that they'd be invisible?

All babysnatchers and ambushers will be replaced by sieges. This has the side-effect of making the wilderness relatively safe whenever sieges aren't around, as you know your dwarves won't get ambushed.

BTW, if you have the civ set to [AMBUSHER] instead of [SIEGER] they'll start off invisible when they DO siege. Makes for a much more difficult siege, since while you know that a siege has started, you don't know where all of the units are coming from or where they are after the siege starts.
