If you VPN into the UK or Australia, you’ll run into the same restrictions.
As more countries impose this kind of legislation, VPNs become less and less of a solution, and they were only ever a solution for people who can afford them.

Some states have already begun to require sites to detect connections from VPNs and block them.

The problem is that these kinds of laws are becoming widespread. When they become the norm, simply VPN’ing to a different country won’t save you, because there won’t be any “safe” countries.

I disagree. That would encourage more VPN companies to open up abroad. Two hundred countries and many don’t care what others think.
