You don't need non local variables to propagate information instantly for our universe to be completely deterministic. All that would be required is they operate faster than the speed of light.
Since these variables are non local, that is since they are external to our space, we can't really know how fast they propagate information.....if such variables exist at all.
No, the wave functions are deterministics. That doesn't mean their observatables are deterministic. Wave functions give a probabalistic answer, not exactly what would happen.
