BTW, this is happening while I am trying to apply.

This could happen when you provide an empty string for private_key variable. Make sure to set the environment variable to the content of the key file.
> export TF_VAR_private_key=$(cat /full/path/to/key.pem)

Instead, you can use the private_key_path variable and provide the full path to the key file.
> export TF_VAR_private_key_path=/full/path/to/key.pem

You only need to set one of these env variables. Whichever one you chose, make sure to use the same variable in the tf config file. In my case, I chose private_key_path

$ cat simple_vcn/vcn.tf
variable "tenancy_ocid" {}
variable "user_ocid" {}
variable "fingerprint" {}
variable "private_key_path" {}
variable "compartment_ocid" {}

provider "baremetal" {
tenancy_ocid = "${var.tenancy_ocid}"
user_ocid = "${var.user_ocid}"
fingerprint = "${var.fingerprint}"
private_key_path= "${var.private_key_path}"
}

...

When I run terraform plan simple_vcn, it prompts for the private_key, but its optional. Just press enter and continue.

provider.baremetal.private_key
  (Optional) A PEM formatted RSA private key for the user.
  A private_key or a private_key_path must be provided.

  Enter a value: <press enter>

provider.baremetal.private_key_password
  (Required) The password used to secure the private key.
