Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary is a part of the Vietnamese language. So, yes. Vietnamese know a lot of 'Sino-Vietnamese' as 50-60% of Vietnamese consists of words of Chinese origin or Sino-Vietnamese. For example, the word 'at' is Tai in Vietnamese (from 在 'Zai' in Chinese), to come in Vietnamese is 'Lai' (same as in Chinese 来 'Lai'), country is Quoc in Vietnamese (from 國 Gwok in Cantonese), and the list could co on for hundreds and thousands of pages.
