If you don't need to access your remote machine then no you don't need a VPN. I use it rather than ssh because there's no need to tunnel ports, so e.g. my phone can easily see my samba shares, mediaserver, VNC desktops, access my smtp server... It can be done with ssh tunnelling but it's a bit more fiddly.
Intriguing. So you clearly trust your certificates to your 'phone (android or iOS?). Do you encrypt your 'phone? Are you sure that no app can lift your certificates? Do you use a passphrase with your certificates? And is that passphrase stored by your 'phone?
Paranoid of Tharston.
