Kind of both. VM's network uses the same protocols (with the same limitations) over both the fibre and copper part to the CMTS.
Openreach FTTC uses different protocols, both specific to each interface. In other words DOCSIS cable uses the same (RF) protocols over fibre whereas FTTC uses Ethernet on the fibre part.

I think the differences are more to do with the fundamental architecture rather than the technology used for the 'last mile'.

Agreed. Though technology used is inextricably linked to the architecture and vice versa.
