Yes, and you also have to trust your home ISPs upstream, and the routers upstream from that, and so on and so forth. Are you trying to say that using a VPN is useless?

No, but you're making your traffic stick out and yourself a target for dragnet surveillance. The constant flow "packet in, other packet out" is easy to pick up for snoops, compared to "just packets out" from your home ISP.
