Most Vietnamese are not refugees and most refugees are not Vietnamese. Those Vietnamese that became refugees in the 1940s-1980s fled the violence of the Indochina Wars, which destroyed Vietnam and made life difficult for many Vietnamese.

Not only Vietnamese people are refugees; any other group of people can be refugees too. Vietnamese refugees became "boat people" because of the overwhelming destruction that was part of the Vietnam War.
