Is the tor option only meant for access from the outside?

according to https://jlopp.github.io/bitcoin-core-config-generator there are other options for a tor only node `# [network]

Bind to given address and always listen on it. Use [host]:port notation for IPv6.

bind=127.0.0.1:8333

Allow DNS lookups for -addnode, -seednode and -connect values.

dns=0

Query for peer addresses via DNS lookup, if low on addresses.

dnsseed=0

Specify your own public IP address.

externalip=your_tor_address.onion

Use separate SOCKS5 proxy to reach peers via Tor hidden services.

onion=1

Only connect to peers via Tor.

onlynet=onion

Connect to a node (IP address) to retrieve peer addresses, then disconnect.

seednode=hhiv5pnxenvbf4am.onion`

Are there benefits to running only tor in a VPS?

Let me know if I missed something
