Never got the pun til now, very clever writing, not sure if it's intentional or not to be honest, it's way too good of a pun for me after so many years.

Yes

The whole point of the scene is Shrek explaining how ogres are deeper than just being scary monsters. They also both clearly say layers with two syllables.

But it's spoken as a two syllable word by most people. The dictionary pronunciation even sounds like two syllables. So it doesn't prove anything if Shrek pronounces it a a two syllable word.

And think about it, why would it be a built-up joke if he meant emotional layers? That's not funny or even a joke.

If you're pronouncing lair as a two syllable word, and when people around you speak and all you hear is a two syllable word, then I promise you that the issue is you're using a regional dialect. The word is only one syllable and that's how everyone else is pronouncing and hearing it.

The joke wasnt the onion.

The joke was Donkey thinking of other things that have layers, like cakes and parfaits, and Shrek getting increasingly annoyed because he just wanted to be left alone in his swamp. Not "liked" (Everyone likes cake!)

Its... not a joke. Its character development.

The jokes in that scene are Donkeys repeated wrong guesses at what Shrek means.

What? What would it mean if it was "lairs"? That's not even a joke.

Maybe he just meant eventually they make you cry.

(I haven't seen the movie in years and don't even remember the line.)

Have you ever met a person, you say "Let's get some parfait," they say "Hell no I don't like no parfait." Parfaits are delicious.

I like the double meaning of layer and lair. I wouldn't say the joke was written specifically to imply lair, but there's definitely another layer of meaning there, even if it's incidental
