It's per player (which is easily seen if you count the average prizepools, i.e. add up prizes from all the tiers multiplied by their probabilities). And VPPs are awarded accordingly - exactly as many as for 4% rake per player.
Edit: there's no contradiction in their words - when you win the prize, you win about 3 BIs gross on average, and pay about 12% of the BI in rake, but you pay it only about 1/3 of the time, so it evens out to 4% of the BI per game. In tournaments without guarantees, such as SnGs, it doesn't matter where the rake is taken from - the BIs directly or the prize pool - because the prize pool is made up from the BIs anyway.
