Correct and correct!
I will correct the rest of your text - ignore it if you like:
"HAS broken my vase" implies that what happened is very recent or continuous with what the speaker is talking about. Since this apparently happened in the past, and has some separation from the time of the speaker, I would use "...he HAD broken my vase," or, "...he broke my vase."
The second sentence is not at all wrong. However, maybe just in American English, we think of "deserving" as something in the present: "...she DESERVES a gold medal." However, if the speaker wants to emphasize deserving for things that are definitely finished, they can use "deserved".
