That doc relates to the commercial OpenVPN Access server, not the
community version of OpenVPN. Read this instead:

https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/HOWTO#ExpandingthescopeoftheVPNtoincludeadditionalmachinesoneithertheclientorserversubnet

Ignore the part about bridged setups, stick to routed tun.

I do not know about bullit-in OpenVPN in ASUS routers, but typically
you would run one as a server and the other as a client although
point-to-point is also possible. Use routed tun mode and set up
routing as in the howto linked above.
