Online advertisements only. I was curious how they were going to implement that on TV!

It doesn't mention how much time must be in between ads

The law also prohibits advertisements that harm "national security" or "negatively affects the dignity of the Party Flag, leaders, national heroes [etc.]". Wonder if that's the real purpose here

I don't think so. Vietnam has been making great progress with privacy and digital rights laws, at least in paper. I haven't been following how well they actually enforce them though.

More likely there's a split in the government between a progressive faction who created this law and the old school side, and they probably had to add that text to get it into law.
