This ruling states that using a VPN to access content which is public domain in one jurisdiction but copyright protected in another is legal and not the responsibility of the VPN provider or the site providing the content.
But does it apply to activity by users on VPNs like torrenting of copyright protected material?

It has no bearing on the US Millennium Rights regime. I suspect anything torrented that you’ll be in trouble over is public domain nowhere.
But the VPN itself remains legal.
Iraq and Iran don’t usually extend copyright protection to foreign works, so that may be a loophole.
