Until you actually test it it will be impossible to know if that unmanaged switch will pass the required VLAN from the AP to pfSense.
Here is a list of Ethernet frame types. Any switch that can pass every one of them is defective.

However, if you want to keep things simple, you can put your WiFi and LAN clients on the same local subnet by using e.g. the router I linked to, turning it into AP, and then enabling the guest network on it for guest clients (which will only have access to the internet but not the local subnet).
Strictly speaking, you can use VLANs with an unmanaged switch, with pfSense and the AP configured to support the VLANs. Other devices on the network will just ignore the VLAN tagged frames. However, for a business installation, a managed switch is always a good idea and the proper way to do this in that environment.
