You most likely also get faster DNS lookups by using your ISP's DNS servers.

Depends a lot. My ISP's (both mobile ISP and DSL) have pretty slow DNS providers. My mobile connections were significantly quicker after I switched to using VPN with Cloudflare DNS as resolver (or even the local resolver, though that is normally a bit slower than Cloudflare/Google DNS due to caching)

Not necessarily. Back when I used Comcast I got much faster browsing speeds by using a proxy over a VPN to a linode server, even though that server was in another state.
