No, vinegar is a 5% acetic acid solution in water. In salad dressings it is often (heterogeneously) mixed with (insoluble) oil. This is called an (oil in water) emulsion. Acetic acid is not soluble in oil, it 'stays' in the water phase.

I do not think that vinegar (Usually a diluted solution of water and acetic acid) will have any chemical reaction since vinegar is (I think) a polar compound as well as water. Oil is a non-polar substance and should not mix well with vinegar, especially since it does not mix in well with water and most vinegar solutions only have 5% acetic acid and 95% water.
