TLDR : Answer Summary
You cannot apply online for a visa at the Hanoi Embassy one week prior to your arrival. All responses indicate that you need to provide proof of your current location, such as a hotel booking or passport stamp, and that applications must be submitted from within the current jurisdiction.

E-visa website start with country of passport.

Second question is Current location and that decide which Embassy/consulate you use.

Next to this in the questions you need proof of current location.

No, you can not apply at an Embassy in another country than your current location.
