Wrong! The netmask is correct. So is the one written automatically when the interface was set up. Look in /proc.
Futher, the routing and netmask must be changed on most real remote systems when a ppp link is started and when it is torn down if you ppp-link to a server that is going to become the default route for a LAN. This is how you get internet connectivity for more than the machine on the ppp link.
When my ppp link is running, my machine at work routes a small group of my home machines with a netmask of 255.255.255.128. My machines are grouped in the lower numbers of the network so routed.
