Earlier on it seemed so that it wasnt any problem getting a vietnam plated bike into Laos, but reports lately suggests that this has now become increasingly more difficult and many travellers have reported being denied entry to Laos on vietnam plated bikes. It seems they lacked a document for export of the vehicle. Take tjis last info with a grain of salt - as this is something I briefly have read…
Borders between Vietnam and Laos - only 4 of them have the «visa on arrival» option:
Nameo – Banleui, Thanh Hoa to Huaphanh Province;
Namkan – Namkan, Nge An to Xieng Khouang Province;
Keoneua – Nampao (Lak Sao), Ha tinh to Bolikhamxay Province;
Laobao – Dansavanh, Quang tri to Savannakhet Province.
At all the others you will need to get a Laos visa beforehand.
Cambodia - well for what I have read they now have an online form to register your vehicle before you arrive at the border - something that ease the bordercrossing process a lot. Thats is arriving from Thailand, but I would presume that is valid for coming from Vietnam too.
