How about insurance?
Can you cross at any bordercrossing you like?

When you apply for the vietnam permits in order to get into Vietnam with foreign registered bike, you need to supply a picture of your license (I personnally did not send the international one). You need to send as well a picture of your motorbike registration documents, carnet info where you have engine and frame numbers in it (allthough Vietnam is not carnet country). You are more or less free to choose which international you want to get in and out. If you have it organized by a tour company, you will just have to get to the dedicated entry border at a specific day, they make all the paperwork for you, then you are free to ride on your own. You need to get at the exit border at another specific day you will agree on.
I was never bothered by police check. It seems they prefer to get to the backpackers tourist who bought small Honda wins and travel through vietnam. Lots of them don't have licenses...
