I believe that's the general nature of a VPN. It's always going to show you as connected locally, even if you are 1,000 miles away connected through Starlink on an iPad, or whatever you're trying to use to connect remotely. As long as that client device is connecting using a VPN connection back to your OpenVPN server, you are going to always appear as local.
If you want to connect as "remote," disable the VPN on your device. If you're using a phone, disconnect from your WIFI, and disable the VPN running on the phone, and then try to connect to your Jellyfin. If that works, then you are connected remotely. If you want the phone on a VPN for security reasons, you would need to use a separate one from your OpenVPN server to connect back to your Jellyfin "remotely".
