No, the article is about you connecting to your home from the corporate network over OpenVPN. The case you are describing, while possible, is highly unlikely to be detected unless you are using a public VPN. Most of the time your employer just cares to check a box saying employees are working from the US and has no incentive to go the extra mile to active traffic monitoring and deep packet inspection. Hell, some are so incompetent, a CTO once said employees can work offshore as long as they are using Remote Desktop to a VM in the US because then they are “telecommuting”, but they can’t connect over the corporate VPN.
