If you get in contact with them they should be able to tell you which, but there will be no harm caused by a bit of trial and error to see which they have set up.

This is correct, and this is what I would check first as I think it is most likely..

> In the second case, "Hamachi" that only supports a plain shell interface under Linux (no GUI), does one run a VNC server on the remote MacOS X machine and a VNC client on the local (end user) machine, and then somehow tunnel (vpn?) through LogMeIn Hamachi?

This is also correct, you tunnel the remote control session over the Hamachi VPN.
