If your threat model is companies detecting your movie piracy then what you're doing now is fine. Just ensure any torrent program is bound to the VPN interface and also make sure you're blocking any trackers if you do happen to log into Facebook, Google, etc as they will be able to track your movements around the web (not that they're looking to enforce movie copyright)
Is there a VPN that binds easily to android? I had been using Flud and cyberghost VPN but did not have them bound. I just let my cyberghost vpn membership lapse so I could get a new VPN for tormenting, but haven't picked one yet. I torrent from my phone quite a lot and not just my pc.
In that case enable the block connections without VPN under the VPN settings in network
As someone else pointed out, Android has a built in kill switch so you would use that setting for system wide VPN.
