I already have a MA-issued VIN so I don't know if CHP will issue a new one or not.

I think it was smart to get out of there. The VIN Verification form that accompanies the application for title specifically states that the VIN may still be subject to CHP verification even if you get someone from the DMV to verify it. Further, the DMV website states that the CHP verifies the VIN, and does not say anything about the DMV as an option. I suppose it's possible that you could get by with just the DMV performing the task, but I wouldn't want to get to within a foot of the finish line and then have the DMV counterperson say "Where's your CHP VIN verification form?", since they are different forms from what the DMV has.
But hey, you got to drive it today!
