Well, I'm too inexperienced with iptables to give you and advice here
unfortunately.

Yes, connect your phone with mobile data only (no WiFi) and no VPN and
you can try to browse to the admin interface on your external ip. For a
more thorough test you could install Termux which will give you a Linux
terminal in your phone. It comes with a built-in package manager so you
can install your favourite Linux tools. You can use it to install nmap
which is the defacto port scanning tool to use. The man page will give
you some examples of the syntax and it will scan for open ports. It
should only find your 1194 port used by OpenVPN.
