Yes, you would use only one of the video connectors at a time. The reason some monitors have different video connectors is to allow it to connect to a number of different video cards. If you have a DVI or HDMI connector on both the motherboard or video card and the monitor, then use it, and if not, use the VGA connector. Just use the one that is on both the computer and the monitor, and if you have both, just use the one you prefer.

See if you have only VGA port on the ASUS Monitor then you need to plugin the VGA part of HDMI to VGA in Asus Monitor and then plug the other part that is HDMI in your Macbook pro.There might be a problem with you that both Asus monitor and the HDMI to VGA cable have same VGA Plugs,Like both of them are female VGA or both of them are Male VGA hence they cannot be connected together.For that problem you need to have one more cable of the opposite character to that of your HDMI to VGA and your monitor's VGA port to establish a connection between the Monitor and Macbook pro using the cable you already have. Like if you have female VGA on your monitor and on your existing cable then you need to buy male to male VGA and vice versa you have to buy female to female VGA for male ports on monitor and cable you already have.
