All jokes aside, no it wasnt genocide. The Viets werent going racial cleansing mode on the Southern tribes and the Cham.

You can still see the ethnic differences of the Vietnamese today, with Northerners looking quite like Han Chinese while the South has more Austronesian features like Malays/Filipinos and whatnot.

Though the Vietnamese Dynasties have distributed their subjects far and wide anyway so there's no concentration of Ethnic differences save for aboriginal subjects.
