for the manual keying sections, both (old-style) ipsecadm(8) commands
and (new-style) ipsecctl(8) commands are given. the end result should be
the same.

i'm not exactly sure what you're asking. no, that one line does not
entirely replace steps 2 - 6. if you're asking if your one line has the
equivalent effect of the ipsec.conf lines in vpn(8), i don't know.

maybe if you try and work through the page and post if you get to a bit
that is unclear? and just in case this is the sticking point: note that
after the ipsecadm stuff, the equivalent ipsecctl stuff is given.
