TL;DR
Facebook rental listings in Ho Chi Minh City are full of fakes — it's better to work with a local realtor on-site, especially in complexes like Vinhomes where reception staff usually can't help directly.
One expat went to Vinhomes in person to look for an apartment, but reception staff didn't speak English and had no info on available units — had to ask around for a local realtor's contact instead.
Travelers asked in the local chat for a realtor who could show available apartments in the Vinhomes complex right away, since searching on their own on-site didn't work.
Many people gave up searching for housing on Facebook, saying rental listings there are mostly fake.
