VPNs are a weird term because practically they're used for an entirely different purpose (making virtual networks as the name implies)
What advertises itself as VPNs are usually just proxies based on popular VPN protocols.
Can you use a VPN service like you did Hamachi for retro lan gaming?
VPN as in proper VPN, yeah, that's what they're used for among other things. Hamachi is a VPN service.
