MAC acls can be used to stop VTP being received, they cannot be used to
stop advertisements being sent; vtp transparent mode will do that for you.
In later versions of IOS there is also a "vtp mode off" command.

The (ether)type values can be used to differentiate the protocols. You
cannot match the PID, only the (ether) type part of it.

You can find a discussion about this including examples of MAC ACLs here:-
