If you interchange these two lines, the example compiles. Unfortunately
there is only little documentation on vntex. However,
/usr/share/texmf-tetex/doc/generic/vntex/vntest2.tex
contains:
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[vietnam,english]{babel}
% test of use of vietnam.ldf for babel with utf8 input encoding; any
% encoding that vietnam.sty supports can be used instead of utf8
But it might still be necessary to use both babel.sty and vietnam.sty at
the same time, since vietnam.sty supports some additional options. See
/usr/share/texmf-tetex/doc/generic/vntex/vntest1.tex. Loading
vietnam.sty after babel.sty seems to make this possible.
BTW, do you need the extended functionality of ucs.sty/utf8x input
encoding? If not I would suggest to use the more robust utf8 input
method provided by the LaTeX kernel.
