There are a lot of things to go wrong here. You may be in for a long slog.
Your ctypes definition does look fundamentally correct.

The last parameter is the size of the output buffer, and that does get passed
to the driver. It should be sizeof(VOLUME_PROPERTIES_STRUCT) which is, I
believe, 1280.

Last should be 1280, I think.

The first b’0x00’ is wrong; the first byte of the struct needs to be 5.
