I've read on reddit I think that if you are torrenting using a private tracker you're gonna be fine even without VPN. The question is: isn't the tracker is just a server that leads my torrent client to the pieces of the file on the seeders? And the connection between me and the seeders is p2p, isn't that type of connection is what makes your ISP snitch you? So what is different about private trackers? And where to find them?

The site lists 4 torrents and none of them are mine. I assume this is because my ISP assigned a dynamic IP address

Yeah, I have a 4G CGNAT router, so I'm not only constantly hopping IP's, I'm even sharing outside IPs with others simultaneously. I rarely see other torrents than mine, though it does happen. I honestly also had the bad content flag once for a file I certainly wouldn't download. 😅
