Heres another question ive been pondering about VPN with shared ips.
If some ******* is on the same shared ip as you and he does something naughty, could this potentialy put you in the frame along with alot of other people of course?

Yes.

The vpn connection is from a specific machine in your premises to another machine elsewhere, it isn't for your VM connection and every device automatically connects to it. So unless you have a shared machine you are thinking of then you don't have to worry about being held responsible for other people's behaviour. The device you are using for the vpn connection with have a wan ip address not associated with VM at all and it will be provided by the hosting provider. All other devices in your house will have a local address provided by your shub/router and will share the VM wan ip address.

That may be the case from a legal point of view but most websites aren't run by law enforcement. If your VPN endpoint IP is abused by someone else it's quite possible, if not even common, for said IP to be banned from certain websites or servers. Some even mass-ban entire subnets.
