TL;DR
Yes, transfer passengers are grouped separately and escorted through the border step by step — from the desk through passport control to baggage screening. Dedicated counters and a separate queue are available.
A Vietnamese staff member meets you holding a sign/nameplate and directs you through a barrier from the general queue into the short one — that's the whole process.
There are dedicated counters for transfer passengers at the border, with a much shorter queue than the general flow. It functions like a fast track, though the number of passengers using it is small.
The process is organized as a chain: one staff member gathers the group, another escorts them to passport control, then hands them off to the next person, and so on through to baggage screening. Passengers are accompanied at every step.
Transfer passengers are separated from the general flow right at the check-in desk and then guided as a group — no need to navigate independently.
