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.
