No filters. There are just no routes that will take a network packet that

the packet type is no longer IPv4 but MPLS.

Therefore there is no way you from the internet or from a customer link can
even attempt to inject packets that would be received by the OSPF process.
Since we use 10.0.0.0/8 and our vrf internet has no such route, you would
just get no route to host if you tried.

Good for you.

We don't run the whole "Internet in a VRF" architecture (too many moving
parts), so not having our IGP being exposed to IP helps :-).
