Thanks for this, sorry for asking a repeated question. My Google-Fu must be weak today... Also, as a side, I'm heading on out to find some proper systemd tutorials. It's WAY more different than I expected.

The only commentary at the beginning of my /lib/systemd/system/openvpn.service is # This service is actually a systemd target, but we are using a service since targets cannot be reloaded.. To me that doesn't explain anything no provide a solution. However in /usr/share/doc/openvpn/README.Debian.gz it is explained properly if you're running systemd, you cannot pass arguments to init.d scripts. In order to start/stop a particular VPN you may use: service openvpn@VPN_NAME start or systemctl start openvpn@VPN_NAME.
