It's real and they even updated the language to give McCain his proper name and to remove the epithet "Tên" which is used to refer to villainous people in Vietnamese.
It might be a dialect thing or something where the use is archaic but the text on the monument uses tên as an epithet (or a classifier) to indicate that McCain was a hostile, which is apparently why it was removed.

Are you from Vietnam? Would you mind if I ask a couple of questions, to fact check something I've heard recently?
