The following should work. It will check if all elements in your variable list start with vsw:

variable "vswitch_ids" {
  description = "The vswitch IDs."
  type        = list(string)
  validation {
    condition = (
      length(var.vswitch_ids) > 0 &&
      length([for v in var.vswitch_ids: 1 if substr(v, 0, 4) == "vsw-"]) == length(var.vswitch_ids)
      )
      error_message = "The vswitch_name value must start with \"vsw-\"."
  }
}
