No. Johnson only became President three weeks afterDiem was murdered. Diem was killed during the overthrow of his Government by the South Vietnamese military. Although there are indications that the Kennedy Administration had at least given the officers behind the coup some encouragement - Diem was a highly impopular dictator - there is no indication that it ever supported his murder, which was by the way not a result of planning but of Diem and his equally hated brother being caught by chance by a group of soldiers loyal to the overthrow when trying to escape the country.

The were South Vietnamese who supported the North Vietnamese during the Vietnam War.?
There were three names by which South Vietnamese supporters of the North Vietnamese during the Vietnam War were known. One was Viet Cong. The phrase was a shortened form of the Vietnamese "Viet Nam Cong San," for Vietnamese Communist. It was first used by Ngo Dinh Diem [January 3, 1901-November 2, 1963], First President of the Republic of [South] Vietnam, to describe the opponents to his government and the supporters of the Democratic Republic of [North] Vietnam. President Diem held office from October 26, 1955, until the overthrow of his government and his assassination. But the South Vietnamese supporters didn't identify themselves as Viet Cong. Instead, they preferred recognition of their membership in, or support for, the pro-North guerrilla army and political group. For pro-Northerners joined, or supported, the People's Liberation Armed Forces aka PLAF. Or they joined, or supported, the National Front for the Liberation of Southern Vietnam aka National Liberation Front and NLF.
