This article from Hollywood contends that it was probably scheduling conflicts (Colbert films his show in NY while The Office originates in Van Nuys, CA). Reporter Michael Arbeiter suggests it is a sure sign your show is running dry when the guest stars don't even show up in person!
If you think about it, though, if you wanted to contact someone you knew in college in NY years ago, would you fly to Scranton, PA to see them or would you Skype? This is a real-world plot solution. If Broccoli Rob had turned up in person, it may have seemed contrived - there really wasn't a reason for him to be in town.
