Not so much, no. At least, I’m having issues with it … and I’ve been a networking professional for more than 25 years.
Diagrams are best scoped to the OSI layer you’re talking about, in my experience. For my home lab I have a huge layer 2 diagram, and a totally different one for layer 3.
If you’re asking about ‘LAN protected by Netgate’, then we’re concerned with layer 3 - so I’d omit the patch panel and illustrate things from a layer 3 point of view.
That aside, it looks like yes, your whole LAN will be ‘behind’ your Netgate. I can’t speak to the specifics of the C1300 you mention though as I’ve never used a Netgate product.
