No, that's just Western cope, especially Yank cope that thinks Vietnam would be friendly to a country that poisoned their population with Agent Orange. The CPC and CPV are super friendly with each.
None of this speaks of any open animosity Vietnam has with China:

yeah... look up the history of sino-vietnamese relations in the 70s and 80s
it's better now, it was real bad before
The Western cope is thinking Sino-Vietnamese relations is the same in the 2020s as it was during the 70s.
I don't think anybody thinks that, certainly not here?
The OP's question was "why does Vietnam have a relationship with the USA and the DPRK doesn't" and the history of tensions with China is the reason for the faster-than-expected renormalization of relations
The Sino-Soviet Split and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
