If you mean the work profile:
The VPN does not apply to the work profile, i think the app that creates it needs to define a proxy or VPN, otherwise it's a direct connection.
I think you can't easily set up a VPN in the work profile, but I never tried it. If you used Instagram with a VPN up until this point, it might be good to continue using it. If you didn't, don't start now if you will stop using Instagram soon anyway.
You can "mount"/give permission to read specific folders of the main or work profile on the other one. It's read-only. For example WhatsApp has an option to switch the image selection to the main profile when sending an image.
Interestingly enough I tried whatismyip on both my main and secondary profile and they both showed the same IP and location
