I spoke with a VP at a top tier MM NY bank who called me directly after I shot him an email requesting a time to speak -- I was referred to him. The conversation was awkward and lasted less then 2 min. I basically said that I wanted to introduce myself and get a feel for the process. My follow-up email had a typo in it (I wrote "on" instead of "of). Am I fucked at said bank?

I'd say you're more in trouble for the 2min awkward conversation than the typo in the e-mail...
I would agree - it's not an interview, just a networking conversation - a typo won't kill you by any means. However, if the conversation was really awkward (and not just short because the VP was busy or suddenly got another call, etc), then that would be worse than making a small typo.
Forget about the typo. If the VP responds positively, you are in good shape and keep it going. If he doesn't respond, try to work on being more comfortable over the phone or having more questions/dialogue in the hole (if either of those were your problem) and move on.
how did the convo end?
I have had awkward conversations also. Not always your fault. Sometimes people can be off putting. You did the call, sent the email, move on. If he liked you he will respond favorably to the email. I would maybe re kindle the relationship 6 months or more from now. He hopefully will of forgotten about your conversation by then.
