I think so.

Instead of me trying to explain it to you, why don't you just try to 
draw the network topology you think will solve the problem. I believe 
that will give you the answer you are seeking.

Alternatively, if you do manage to draw a network topology that has your 
workstation be on a same network as your laptop and yet allow you to 
connect, please do post it here for everyone (or, at the very least, me) 
to learn something new. Please bear in mind, though, that your 
workstation isn't the computer you connect with VPN to. It is the 
gateway firewall, which, potentially, connects to more than the network 
in which your work station reside.

Trains stop at the train station.
Buses stop at the bus station.
What happens at the work station?
