Could you build this?
No Porting Garry's Mod and the Source engine to Android requires cross-compiling legacy C++ engine code, translating DirectX to OpenGL ES/Vulkan, and dealing with native platform abstractions.
What it would actually take: Requires compiling Valve's Source engine (or existing open-source forks like srceng) using Android NDK, implementing a translation layer from Direct3D 9 to OpenGL ES/Vulkan, mapping complex desktop mouse/keyboard inputs to touch, and packaging native libraries into an APK. Demands deep systems and graphics C++ engineering expertise.
