That doesn’t really solve the issue of others near the public network being able to sniff out which IP addresses you’re connecting to. In fact, they could deny service to your DoH provider and force DoH not work (if they did the same to the VPN endpoint hopefully your VPN has a kill switch).
As for shifting the entity that sees your network traffic, that’s true and you definitely have to trust the VPN provider (and whatever company their traffic is passing through).
