As Jim says the examples on the OpenVPN site use # for comments and ; to comment out settings. There is no functional difference but this convention makes it easier to visually identify settings that are commented out.

The '#' prefix is the designated comment tag. The examples on the openvpn website use '#' comments extensively.
Also, the semi-colon - ';' - is used to comment out single lines or items.
