Thanks David, that was the way to go! i just had a hard time to find UTF-16 on Windows (it seems available for Mac notepads only) . So I share the solution here:

1. in Excel, the source data file should be Save As Type: CSV UTF-8 (the only CSV type that keeps the vietnamese characters for me)

2. convert the CSV file to UTF-16 Little Endien – for example using this website https://www.fileformat.info/convert/text/utf2utf.htm

The converted file can be used in InDesign merger and the Vietnamese characters are kept!
