You can do it both ways - you can put your IP transit connection in a 
separate VRF or in the global routing table.
My personal choice would be the global table, as if you had it in a 
separate VRF and also had non-VPN customers (pure IP transit service for 
example) you'll have to do VRF-to-global_table static routing - not 
clean and buggy, depending on IOS.
So, if you go the other way, you can create an INTERNET VRF and provide 
connectivity by importing/exporting route-targets between the customer 
VRF and the INTERNET one.
