This article says 2015:

Vietnam Airlines hopes to receive its first A380 in 2015, he adds.

"We hope that the A380s will be able to cover the growth that we expect to see in the market in the future," he adds.

The airline will use the A380s on long-haul routes, such as planned services from Ho Chi Minh City to the USA.
Although, it makes me wonder why they didn't get one of the slots from the many deferrals.
