No. In my experience, if you start your descent at the VDP, you have waited too long, due to human factors and airframe lag you will usually be about 1 degree too high on glidepath. Instead, if you have visual contact with the runway, when it looks like a proper glidepath, cross check your distance to VDP. If you are a little before, it is time to go down. If you are more than about .3 miles before, you need to work on your visual descent angle references.

What does approaching minimums means on an airplane?

Approaching minimums is called out by an on board computer when the plane is on approach to land. It means that the pilots are approaching the minimum altitude that they can safely fly to without the runway in sight (ie, through clouds and rain etc). If they reach that minimum altitude and the runway is still not in sight the pilots must call off the landing "go around" and attempt the landing again.
