As stated at the top of the page you referenced:

  Instead of using starter and an ipsec.conf based configuration, the
  daemon is directly managed by systemd and configured with the swanctl
  configuration backend. ipsec.conf based configurations are not
  supported with that daemon, as that would require the starter process.

See [1] for details on swanctl, swanctl.conf, vici etc.

Tobias
