Yep, pretty much all servers are. You could say that about anything. Lemmy is just someone else's computer. Wikipedia is just someone else's computer. 100% of network infrastructure is just someone else's computer.

It's actually least accurate for VPN in general than anything else, because it's common to host a VPN for access to a local network and homelab services, or corporate network and internal work-related services, in which case the VPN server is not someone else's computer.
