So over the weekend I did some research and got myself into spending mode
My father has told me many times that I have more money than sense...
My current system-
AT&T Gigabit Internet
Arris BGW 210 Modem - set to Bridge Mode
Google Wifi Gen 1 Router and 3 access points
LTS Camera NVR
4 LTS dome cameras POE
I started by wanting the Ubiquiti Cloud Key Plus in order to upgrade my current camera system. Turns out it will only work with Ubiquiti cameras. I say that's no problem, I could use better cameras anyway. So now I'm looking at the CK+ and 4 cameras.
I've been wanting to upgrade my wifi from the original Google mesh pucks. So of course I see Ubiquiti's ceiling mount access points. Well if I'm going with that ecosystem, I need more than the CK+ so now I am looking at the Dream Machine Professional Gateway.
In my head my system will now work like this:
Cat 6 cable from AT&T modem to Dream Machine.
PoE Switch connected to Dream Machine
Ubiquiti Cameras and Access Points wired to switch.
Is this correct? Will I need to do anything to configure my AT&T modem to work with the Dream Machine Gateway?
Essentially the Gateway will become my router correct?

You want to configure the Arris BGW-210 for IP Passthrough. You can Google instructions for doing this.

Yes, that is correct.
You might consider using the Dream Machine Special Edition instead of the Dream Machine Pro and PoE Switch. The Dream Machine Special Edition has a built in 8-port PoE switch.
