It will be the same under VMS.  The VMS mailer requires you to put the
IN% (or WINS% or SMTP% or ...) in front of the address to allow it to
run a foreign mail exchanger to delever the mail.  The talk programs
that I've seen just use the BSD format for people to talk to.

Be warned, however, that talk isn't standardized and many routers will
filter out talk packets...
