TL;DR
Traveler reports suggest the rule is enforced mostly on domestic flights in Vietnam. Confiscations on international flights have happened too, but much less consistently and can depend on how busy the airport is.
The newest report says enforcement at Cam Ranh Airport can depend on how busy the airport is. When several international flights arrive or depart around the same time, checks become less predictable, and the online arrivals board may not show every charter flight even less than 24 hours in advance.
Another recent report says the rule is mainly enforced on domestic flights within Vietnam. Still, there have been occasional confiscations on international flights too, so travelers should not assume they will avoid checks completely.
An earlier traveler report says that when the rule was first introduced, confiscations also happened on international flights. Later, such cases became less common, and enforcement now seems to focus more on domestic departures.
