You need to define a vault provider, and fetch it as a data object. Here's a simple example:

provider "vault" {
  address = "https://my-vault-address.com"
  skip_tls_verify = true
  token = "xxx"
}

data "vault_generic_secret" "my_secret" {
  path = "secret/path/to/mysecret"
}

Then in order to use it:

...
pass = data.vault_generic_secret.my_secret.data["password"]
...
