Ok, I often hear people in Australia say "Vietnamese-born Australian", but I am not sure that term refers to:
A child was born in Vietnam by Vietnamese parents then the child and his / her parents moved to Australia
A child was born in Australia by Vietnamese parents who moved to Australia from Vietnam
Also, are there any difference between "Vietnamese-born Australian" & "Vietnamese Australian"?
Answer
I don't agree entirely with the current answer, so I'll try my hand at answering.
- Vietnamese-born Australian refers to someone who was born in Vietnam, but has since become an Australian citizen.
- Vietnamese Australian would refer to an Australian citizen with Vietnamese ancestry, no matter where he was born, or where he lives, for that matter.
