That's right, but that's the only case of using visual genjutsu against the Rinnegan wielder. Firstly, it wasn't used specially against him, but against everyone, and, secondly, Sasuke is the original owner of this Rinnegan and can use it to the fullest potential. Nagato wielded Madara's Rinnegan, so it's under the question if he could resist the IT the same way as Sasuke did. Also I should note genjutsu are not divided into visual jutsu and sound jutsu only. Itachi was a master of genjutsu, and, as we know, he could trap his opponents without visual contact (with one finger). That means he could use not just Sharingan genjutsu. If we assume three Pains got trapped in the sound genjutsu cause Nagato had nothing to resist this, unlike with the case of visual genjutsu (thanks to the Rinnegan), he can be also affected by some other kinds of genjutsu.
