The Ho Chi Minh Trail was a ROAD NETWORK, leading from North Vietnam, south through the neutral country of Laos, into South Vietnam. Portions of the trail may have been "supported" by bases in the neutral country of Cambodia.

A peninsula (such as Korea) can be patrolled and controlled by the US Navy (as was done in the Korean War 1950-1953). Vietnam had two countries (officially neutral in the war), Laos & Cambodia bordering N & S Vietnam's left (west) side. The Ho Chi Minh Trail went thru those countries (mostly Laos). The US would have had to involve Laos & Cambodia; WIDEN the war, in order to destroy/occupy the Ho Chi Minh Trail. This action could possibly involve Red China or the Soviet Union. Red China DID ENTER the Korean War when US/Allied forces invaded NORTH Korea during the Korean War. The US did not want to widen the Vietnam War. This is Why Vietnam had to be fought as a "Limited War." Limited by restrictions on Where it could be fought, and How it could be fought.
The Ho Chi Minh Trail served to transport troops and supplies from North Vietnam into South Vietnam. It followed the Western border of both countries, passing through Laos and Cambodia before crossing into South Vietnam.

The North Vietnamese transported troops and supplies through Cambodia and Laos in order to supply their army in South Vietnam. Their primary transportation route was known as the Ho Chi Mien Trail.
I'm not entirely sure what you are asking but yes there was a trail, called the Ho Chi Minh trail, that ran partly through Laos and Cambodia to transport supplies and vietcong troops to south Vietnam.
The Ho Chi Minh Trail passed thru those countries.

Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, Peru, and Argentina.
Vietnam wasn't affected; SOUTH Vietnam was affected. NORTH Vietnam may not have been sprayed, but parts of the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Cambodia/Laos may have caught some of it. SOUTH Vietnam is where the vegetation was...that's were the enemy was hiding...that's where the forests and jungles had to be destroyed...to uncover the enemy...and keep him from remaining hidden. If the enemy was hiding and using forests and jungles in NORTH Vietnam...the US simply bombed the heck out of those areas. The place looked like the moon (all bomb craters!).
The California Trail, Gila Trail, Mormon Trail and The Old Spanish Trail....
By sea along the coast, or the Ho Chi Minh trail which went thru Laos and Cambodia. Nothing went thru the DMZ (17th Parallel); without getting completely destroyed by airpower or artillery. The "Z" was no-man's land.
