You'll need a static IP on the machine making the connection, and the machine must be able to make the connection. Given that this is a low level network task, you'll need to user Managed VMs or Compute Engine, rather than App Engine, yes. For Compute Engine, you can set a static IP address <https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances-and-network>. In Managed VMs, once the VM is switched to "User Managed", this is also possible, although I believe the address will be voided on restart of the instance - you may want to check this.
There is currently a Public Issue Tracker <https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=12244> issue with feedback which seems to suggest that the ability to pin static IP addresses to Managed VMs may be changing, in fact. It might be worth making a feature request which specifically mentions that PIT issue and which represents a feature request to clarify that static IPs on Managed VMs is desired. If the Beta nature of Managed VMs is not desirable, I'd suggest just making the VPN connection through a regular Compute Engine instance.
