It's possible to use a VPN over any kind of Internet connection, right?
Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or anything else. And to continue using a
VPN connection even while the physical layer changes.
I doubt it's practical to design icons, for every physical layer, that
have a disposable corner just in case a padlock appears in that corner.
And even if it was practical, whether you are connected to a VPN or not
will often be too important for such a tiny emblem.
For those two reasons, I think it would be better for VPN to be shown
with a completely separate icon. On PC at least, a separate icon implies
a separate menu, but that's reasonable too -- VPN software on Windows
and Mac often does that anyway.
