VPSs are fully isolated, so unix domain sockets are isolated as well and can't be used for communication between VPSs.
Instead, you can use IPv4 via venet network device, which, if used with MTU=16386 is as efficient as loopback network device.

Or you can create a pipe in a host system, fork and make 2 VPS enter/exec with one pipe descriptor in one VPS and another fd in another VPS. But it will require some vzctl modifications and not that good from maintainance POV.
