The answer is probably dependent on who you ask, but I would not say so.
The Cold War was primarily between the United States and the Soviet Union, and although the Communist Vietnamese managed to take over the country, it really did not benefit the Soviet Union in any way. One of the first things the Vietnamese did was cut off ties with the Soviets and China.
The war certainly was a turning point for Vietnam, but the Vietnam War had little effect on the Cold War as a whole.
In my opinion, the most influential parts of the Cold War would be the Carter, Reagan, Bush presidencies, as the Soviet Union losing their influence in the Middle East was probably the most significant impact that they faced. The unification of Germany was also a major step.
