Viet Cong forces were highly covert (secretive), their existence depended upon it. Almost surely, during the pre-1965 years, the US Advisers/Special Forces (Green Berets) knew by name, who some of the VC commander's were. However, as VC units became depleted (especially after the TET offensive '68), NVA units took a more active role in the fighting, and it is known that VC units were subordinate to the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) after 1968.

Southerners living in South Vietnam who sympathized with the Communist North, were the Viet Cong (VC). Communist North Vietnam, sent it's NVA (North Viet Army) south into South Vietnam to fight US/Allied forces. So, there were two basic enemies in South Vietnam: The communist sympathizers (VC) who already lived in South Vietnam. And the communist NVA, who marched from their homeland in the north, to fight in the south.
