I've always assumed that when I was getting direct clearances to some obscure reporting point it was because the controller knew I was RNAV capable

I think this one can be argued two ways.
Formally, ATC don't care how you find your way around so long as you are outside CAS. It's not their problem.
If the ATCO does actually care, and many VRPs are seriously hard to find for all other than the locals, especially if you have to circumnavigate a chunk of CAS to get to the VRP which is on the other side of the airport, the only easy way is to have a moving map GPS which shows the VRPs on the map. IOW, I agree with you
