Correct. Although just want to correct you that it's actually VN not VT and OCE not AU.
Playins of 2 groups of 4 teams(total 8 teams)
Advance to main group stage which has 4 groups with 3 teams and each one from playins will fill in the groups
After that double elimination of 8 teams (top 2 from each group)
Then top 2 teams of double elimination advance to masters
Yup, each subregion (Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia/Singapore, Hong Kong/Taiwan, South Asia, Oceania) is allotted a certain number of slots. The qualifying teams then compete in the regional APAC playoffs to determine the two teams that will represent APAC in Masters.
