I think so, if I'm reading you correctly. Something like this?

  echo "$password" | openconnect --user="$username" --password-on-stdin "$gateway"

Hmm, is "ABC" standing in for something else here? I think you want
"user smartcart" here. It should be the name of the local user that is
going to be running openconnect.

I think you are missing the --interface=IFNAME (or -i) option here. It
is mentioned on the page you referenced. If you created a tun device
named "vpn0" as you showed above, then you should add "--interface=vpn0"
to your openconnect command.

(I haven't tested any of this, just following the docs and the code.)
