I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but in general, a VPN link looks
just like a direct connection between two routers (just like you hooked them
together directly with a serial cable or something similar).  As such, it
helps greatly if any traffic you want to go through your VPN is easily
routable.  While it is possible to do just about anything, if you make
unique private IP space networks for the various ends of VPN links, your job
of sending packets from here to there is made much easier.

Also, your VPN gateways ultimately need a public IP address (so they can
talk to the internet), but the traffic you're sending *through* the VPN can
have public or private IPs.
