I think it is simply a coincidence that your symptoms stopped after adding oil. I suspect they will reappear. Low oil level should make no difference, it is the oil pressure that matters. Now if the oil level was EXTREMELY low, it is possible that the engine would lose oil pressure. But at that point a faulty VVTi would be the least of your problems.
