I guess you want to know how to fly an airbus without any knowledge of the aircraft. Yes you can do that by simply tuning ILS frequency and course and fly everything selected HDG select, Speed select, manual thrust and fly raw data ILS, the VLS is V approach without auto thrust. It is as simple as that provided you have the skill. Raw data is easier in Airbus since it holds it's flight path. If you can't do it in the bus you won't be doing it in Boeing either. Approach mode is a flight director mode you need to know how to programme it. Next if you don't have the approach in data base how will it be in the FMGS? I have my doubts if you are type rated.
