I have a rough pebbledash house.

I was wondering if I could use expanding foam to attach a sheet of polystyrene outside (eg around doorway)?

And then apply some self adhesive brick vinyl wallpaper onto the polystyrene, eg

Or staple something onto the polystyrene, like I saw in garden centre today:

Though I cannot find this more durable printed brick (vinyl) online, perhaps they custom made it?
 
No it will fall to bits re wallpaper , adhesive your better with something like grip fill however I’m not sure why you don’t just use brick slips? ‍♀️

Brick slips are probably far more expensive.

Not wallpaper, waterproof vinyl, like used in the garden centre point of sale in the pictures.
 
Brick slips are a bit more expensive but don’t look rubbish and will last, I understand the look you want however it’s not going to happen unless you do it right.

If you look on places such as market place you may pick up a couple of boxes cheap,

I don’t want to sound harsh but if you ask a question in here the responses will be the right way to do it.

Usually when you use brick slips you don’t need polystyrene or bc anything as you can level it out with adhesive

I would think you’d only need a couple of metres square
 
Re the waterproof vinyl it will discolour and the weather changes will just make it come unstuck
