Right. I think DNS has a built-in assumption that domain owners also
manage their own IP space, which is mostly untrue for personal
domains.
If you have a static IP address associated with your VM somewhere The IP
owner is responsible for the reverse ptr record. However they usually
(?) have some mechanism in place for you to specify the name. For
example:
michael@snug:~/$ host 107.191.106.119
119.106.191.107.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer
tent.michaelrpdx.com.
Since I run my own DNS service tent.michaelrpdx.com (and a bunch of
other names) point to the IP address.
As long as your IP address provider gives that service you should be OK.
