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.

yes it comes from the rain forests
In order to grown a mahogany tree it will take a lot of work if you want it to grow quick. Most mahogany tree take about 30 year to fully grow but if trimmed and well took care of it can be fully grown within 20 to 25 years.

Mahogany is a type of tree, specifically belonging to the genus Swietenia. It is known for its durable, reddish-brown wood, which is highly valued in furniture-making and cabinetry. Mahogany trees can grow quite large and are typically found in tropical regions.
All mahogany trees were seeds at one time. They are tropical trees and can not tolerate freezing conditions. They do not live in deserts. So if you have the right climate, you can produce your tree.
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 trees typically grow at a moderate rate, averaging about 24 to 36 inches (60 to 90 centimeters) per year under optimal conditions. They can reach a height of 60 to 80 feet (18 to 24 meters) over several decades. Growth rates can be influenced by factors such as soil quality, climate, and care provided. In ideal environments, some mahogany species may grow faster, especially in tropical regions.
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.
