That's not true - a VPN adds a layer of security and privacy, therefore is worthwhile in many cases.
You should never never never NEVER use public IPs behind a firewall (unless they can be accessed from the Internet). To put a public IP behind a firewall where it can't be accessed is a waste of IP space, and asking for routing problems.
Actually, it is somewhat common to use public IP's when connecting "internal" IP space from various organizations - for example, I know some banking interconnects require that the members all get public IP's for their private frame relay connections (ie - will never be routed) to ensure that there are no conflicts.
