So my garage is up now and the electrical will be done today. I am wanting to put up OSB on the interior walls this is a single wall construction the put Tyvek over the studs and installed the T111 and bats over that will that be enough for a vapor barrier can I just insulate and put the OSB over that?? This will be mostly unheated as we don't have very cold weather here on the coast..

I built mine exactly like that 25 years ago and have had no problems.

If the bats are paper backed, and the paper is facing the inside of the building, that is the vapor barrier.

This biggest issue with the T-111 is the difficulty in flashing around penetrations like windows and doors. The insulation will tend to trap moisture, so take the time and try your best to properly flash your heads.
