Just wondering: Does MiTM work the same way for VPNs as it does for "regular" connections? Like if I am in country X and connecting to a VPN in country Z, does that impact the MiTM possibilities?

Depends if you are using the CA system or preshared keys to verify the VPN.

OTOH PPTP has it's own set of security problems.
