So am I right in saying that the data that's encrypted by VPNS is only in transit? It then sits on a server in plain text, ready to be queried by third parties for money.

Yes, VPNs add encryption only between you and the VPN servers.

People seem to use VPNs to avoid IP based issues, like Netflix or ip bans/associations, not sure anyone would use it for actual privacy -- at best its obsfucation.

Isn't Netflix pretty good at detecting VPNs at this point?
