VDSL2 Bridging to Firewall

Hi Guys,
My connection is FTTC VDSL2 and in arrives fisically from the wall with rj11 cable.
I want to set a VM PFsense for firewall and vpn purposes.
I figured that the fisical architecture is follow

|WALL|----RJ11 CABLE---->VDSL2 MODEM---->RJ45 CABLE---->FIREWALL

-VDSL2 Modem must be set on Bridging mode
-Firewall WAN port must be configure (PPPoE, username and password ecc..)

It's correct?

Thanks

I saw this video and no PPPoA configuration needed

Can you explain me why VDSL router must be configured in PPPoA?

Thanks!
