Greetings,
Could you please tell me if AES-256-CBC is the only chiper supported for OpenVPN?

No, but then the cipher you are actually able to use is dependent on how your client binary was built, and more importantly depends on the cipher used by the server you intend to connect to.
If you build OpenVPN from source, and also run your own VPN server, then you can use any cipher supported by OpenSSL, the library that provides the crypto routines. If your client is dynamically linked to OpenSSL, then in addition you also need to ensure that your copy of OpenSSL is built with support for your preferred/needed crypto algorithms.
The cyphers supported by Perfect Privacy is determined by them, since they run their servers, so you don't really have any choice in the matter.
