Assuming that your home connection is typical residential broadband,

dynamic DNS tracker to keep the MX pointed at your dynamic residential
IP and use this for inbound mail to you.
I agree that inbound to a dynamic IP is somewhere between quite possible
and trivial.
What I'm not quite sure of is why have inbound come directly to the
dynamic IP as opposed to passing through the VPS / VPN. As in what
benefits do you think it would provide that outweigh inbound going to
the VPS / VPN directly?
Primarily because your stated goal was to operate a mail server on a
residential connection. Sure, you could pass everything through and it
might be easier. Or do both and use the VPS/VPN as a backup MX.
