Is there a similar thing for VPN connections?

Not exactly, but  there's a DBUS signal on system bus when VPN state changes. Here's the info:

path=/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/VPNConnections
interface=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.VPNConnections
member=VPNConnectionStateChange

The signal has two arguments, vpn connection name (string) and connection state (uint32), state == 5 means connected, state == 1 means disconnected. Shouldn't be longer than ~10 lines of python.
