Generally not needed. You can however provide immigration with an intention to leave by x date to x country if asked.

it does not hurt to have an outward ticket ( just purchase a cheap ticket , that is fully refundable )

a one way ticket to Vietnam is a great way to accomplish everything. You leave at 180 days, Immigration sees an exit ticket, it's cheap there and back and let's you start your next 180 day stay.

For the $60 US I'd buy one.
