I'm sorry but its still unclear to me,

If I want to install OPNsense in VMware ESXi 5.5,
Do I need to install operating system to install OPNsense? Which is FreeBSD?

Or are those installers included with the all in one prebuilt OS?

Thank you,

OPNsense is a special FreeBSD distribution (firewall appliance) you can install using the VGA ISO image in your case.

The installer is included.

Thank you very much,
it may be good idea to explicitly state OPNsense is a pre-built FreeBSD firewall appliance, or other appropriate label,

It does: https://opnsense.org/about/about-opnsense
First line.

QuoteOPNsense is an open source, easy-to-use and easy-to-build FreeBSD based firewall and routing platform
