Yes, that is standard 3GPP network behaviour. Roaming typically means your 
IP packets go to your home network provider (via non-Internet GTP tunnel) 
before they reach the Internet.

Thus, this is not a "VPN" in the sense that I believe that the linked 
article talks about. That's about getting Internet access in China (wifi 
for instance) and then running a VPN over it.
