Apart from two deprecated, no longer working and therefore ignored settings in your answer file (SkipMachineOOBE and SkipUserOOBE), it is totally OK and will work as it is. It will make OOBE phase of Windows Setup completely automatic, unattended.
Really, there are no errors in your answer file.
However, as unattend.xml only automates OOBE, not the installation itself, Windows Setup will of course ask about region and keyboard, which partition Windows will be installed, and so on. Your answer file only automates the phase that starts after initial Windows installation, after first reboot in setting up Windows.
If you want a completely unattended Windows Setup, automatic partitioning and installation followed by automated OOBE, see this tutorial for instructions: Create media for automated unattended install of Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials
Quote from beginning of above mentioned tutorial:
Installing Windows 10 is done in three phases:
- Boot from install media, run Windows Setup
- Configure hardware devices
- Windows Welcome (OOBE)
In normal install, user interaction is required in phases 1 and 3, phase 2 being run automatically without user interaction. In phase 1 user selects language and keyboard layout settings for system accounts, enters product key for specific edition or selects edition manually if product key is not entered at this stage, and selects disk and partition to install Windows. When phase 1 is done, Windows restarts to phase 2 which is done without user interaction and when ready automatically restarts to phase 3.
In phase 3 user selects region and language settings for user accounts, creates initial admin user account, chooses OneDrive and privacy settings and finally boots to desktop.
Your answer file takes care of that phase 3, but for phase 1 you need another answer file. How to create it is told in the tutorial.
