Mahogany primarily grows in tropical regions, with significant populations found in Central and South America, particularly in countries like Honduras, Brazil, and Peru. Additionally, it can be found in parts of the Caribbean and some areas of Africa, such as the West African coast. The tree thrives in well-drained, sandy soils and is often found in humid, tropical rainforests.
If referring to "genuine mahogany" which is native to Latin America and the Caribbean, no. However there are several other species of trees in the Mahogany family that grow throughout Asia whose timber is used commercially as mahogany would. These are of the genus TOONA. Toona is one kind of mahogany, other than American mahogany. Toona grows natively in Vietnam (as well as many other Asian countries.) So, mahogany of the Toona genus does grow in Vietnam, however mahogany of the American genus does not.

Mahogany trees can be found in northern regions of Australia, particularly in Queensland and the Northern Territory where the climate is warm and humid. They thrive in tropical and subtropical environments.
Mahogany grows to around 150m tall and 6m in diameter. It is a tropical hardwood, and mahogany timber comes from trees in a family called Meliaceae, in particular several closely related species in the genus Swietenia, such as Swietenia mahogonia and Swietenia macrophylla. It grows in the rainforests of South America and Asia. Mahogany is hard to grow on a commercial scale (in plantations) because it is vulnerable to an insect pest, a moth called Hypsipyla grandella. This means that mahogany timber comes from natural forests: rainforests. The mahogany timber trade is one of the main contributors to logging of rainforest timber and the consequent destruction and fragmentation of large areas of rainforest.
