Fairly straightforward.

Looks fine if what’s in the diagram is what you want to accomplish.

NAT needs to happen where NAT needs to happen.  You probably don’t need to NAT 
between 10.0.0.0/24 and 192.168.10.0/24.  You would set up NAT in pfSense to 
the 192.168.10.X address.  Note that pfSense will need routes so it knows to 
send traffic for 192.168.10.0/24 and 192.168.10.20.0/24 to 10.0.0.10.

You will need to tell IPsec to tell its clients that they can reach all the 
networks over the VPN connection (The clients need to know to route all traffic 
for 10.0.0.1/24, 192.168.10.0/24, 192.168.20.0/24, and possibly 172.16.0.0/24 
over the VPN connection).

What clients?  The default gateway for each client needs to be the gateway of 
last resort to get off its subnet.  A default gateway must be on the same 
subnet as the client. You probably want LANA to be 192.168.10.1, LANB 
192.168.20.1, and the VyOS routers 10.0.0.1.

It’s all in the diagram.  ;)  You can do the active/standby with two pfSenses 
and CARP.  Note that it would require switching for the outside and DMZ 
interfaces that isn’t pictured.
