In theory that is correct. However, there are places such as web hosting companies that offer SQL to their customers. There are also companies too cheap to pay for a VPN and might have an offsite data center. While closing those IP's completely is the best solution, another idea may be to not use those standard ports if you HAVE to access your SQL server remotely. Use some non standard ones perhaps.
