Yes; put that in the usercmd_chat command. Something like the below
should do:
add usercmd_chat 192.168.0.1   {>} {telnet 192.168.0.1 /vrf one\r} {User
Access Verification\r} {}

Dosn't need to be a public IP, but you need to be able unambiguously
identify your devices. You could do that by virtually assigning other IP
addresses to the devices in the vrfinstance "two". E.g.: 192.168.255.1
for 192.168.0.1.

add usercmd_chat 192.168.255.1   {>} {telnet 192.168.0.1 /vrf two\r}
{User Access Verification\r} {}
