Yes, because someone who can't master port forwarding (or telling real internet connections and mobile crap apart) certainly has all the necessary skills to successfully admin a VPS :)
Well, at least, if his VPS gets rooted and starts spamming, his hoster will shut it down for him.
You should see NAT and the accompanying need to forward ports across it as a security measure at the lowest level. It protects your home network from the evil internet at least a little bit. Like keeping the rat poison on the high shelf to prevent the toddler from getting it. If you choose to forward ports and therefore expose your network to worldwide access, you should at least know a little bit about what you're doing. "too hard for me to understand" is neither help nor excuse, when someone else deleted your system or used it to attack others on the net.
If you have specific questions about running an AC server, go ahead and ask.
