You can actually do it both ways. If you want to close some ports for all the VPSs, the best place to do that would be on hardware node itself for obvious reasons (less rules).

If you want to set some VPS-specific rules, you can do it either on the host node or from within a VPS. The major difference here in the second case VPS owner can modify those rules.

Also note that you can not use all of the iptables modules inside a VPS, just some of them which are virtualized. man vzctl should tell you which ones are possible.
