So just checked and yes on the Fritz!box 3490, LAN1 can be used as an ethernet WAN port.
So as long as you either connect the 3490 to the ONT or the fibre Modem/router that can support bridge mode, then your vpn feature should work as normal, via LAN 1.
Alas if your FTTH connection is 1Gb, then the 3490 may struggle with this speed for VPN and wifi etc.
There is the The FB 5530 which is a dedicated fibre modem/router if you are feeling brave
