Yes. But, with VPN it looks something like this:

Me -> TOR encrypts data -> VPN encrypts data -> data goes through tunnel -> VPN decrypts data -> TOR encrypted data passes through first node -> TOR encrypted data passes through relay node -> TOR decrypts data as it passes through the exit node -> swish nothing but net

This gives protection from the ISP and from the VPN provider -- I have to trust neither.

It seems excessive; tor traffic already goes through 3 different nodes. And if the ISP is banning tor there is no reason they wouldn't/couldn't ban VPNs.

Too many people use VPNs for work.
