TL;DR
It depends on the airline and the individual agent — some check at check-in and may deny boarding without a return ticket, others don't ask at all.
What the community said
Whether you need a return ticket depends on the airline's own policy, not Vietnamese immigration rules. Some carriers may refuse to check you in without proof of onward travel.

If asked about a return ticket and you say you plan to leave by bus, that's essentially admitting you have no ticket. The agent will decide at their discretion whether to let you through.

Checks for return tickets are inconsistent — you might be asked at the gate, at passport control, or not at all. There's no way to predict in advance.
