It's even better than that, because you're also not likely to have an external IP at all on 3G, vodafone 3G sticks, in my experience, tend to throw you in to a nat'd 10.0.0.0/24 address space.
Depends on the provider. When I had my Orange 3G USB dongle I got a real world, unfirewalled IP (dynamic though, so not useful as an SMTP endpoint). I believe there's an APN under 3 that gives this too.
I'd go for the VPN approach in all cases that didn't have a static IP at the destination end, whether there's NAT involved or not.
