Nice one, thanks... I edited it before run. Just to add openresty default config dir " /usr/local/openresty/nginx/conf/* ". Worked pretty well!

You can use -O nginx.vim with your wget command and not need the mv line.

Or just use the one provided by NGINX (see README).

Yes, if you have an Nginx source tree laying around somewhere, it's just a matter of copying the Vim files over:

rsync -r /src/nginx/contrib/vim/ ~/.vim/

(don't omit the trailing slashes)

Doesn't matter when it works and simple! Great job! Thank you!
