I assume you mean LDP router-id?

What you say configured a public IP, do you mean on the interface
facing the provider and then used something like "discovery
transport-address interface" to use the interface IP as your LDP
router-id?

Also why have you originated it into BGP? If you are using the public
on on the interface facing your provider they should know IP because
its directly connected.

On paper this configuration works but I'm not 100% clear of your explentaion.

As Nick has said, just having something like a tagged sub-interface
between you and your provider where the xconnect terminates would be a
better idea, the L3 VPNs can be in other sub-int's.
