An APN (Access Point Name) is a configuration setting on a mobile device (such as a phone) that defines the network that a mobile device connects to. On a mobile network (GSM) there are multiple APNs which provide access to different networks such as the internet, a 'walled garden' in the operator and also private links to company networks.
APN settings include the name (apn.operator.com) and user credentials (username/password).
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) provides an encrypted link between two points. The linkj is encrypted to ensure the security of the traffic over public networks such as the Internet. There are many ways of implementing a VPN - using routers to create site-to-site links or linking a PC to a company network.
Hope this explains it.

What is the best way to connect two offices in different countries?
A direct connection between two countries is likely pretty expensive. Better solution would be for both offices to get internet from a local ISP... then establish a VPN between the sites. There are a lot of different products and methods to establish the VPN. Look for a local switch/router capable of establishing a VPN. Easiest is to use the same product on each end... so the default settings will be the same and most of the setup will be moot. Cisco product is called office connect.
