Adult Toys when traveling to VN

So it was my fault for not researching properly about something so trivial. I've been to VN thrice. First was I entered through HAN, second in DAD, and third in SGN.

I brought the same toys with me and never had an issue on the first two airports but when entering through TSN, I was stopped at customs.

I now understand that it's ill*gal. I found out the hard way and will ensure to be more knowledgeable next time.

My question is, would I have issues when I want to come back to VN again?

For reference, I was never booked for it. I was willing to pay the 10m vnd fine since I understood the law but the customs officer kept saying "I help you I help you" then asked for 2M. They made me sign something in Viet and when I asked if I could take a photo to translate before I sign, she did not allow and just told me it was my "support document". She did not also give me a copy of what she made me sign. I'm pretty sure that was coffee money. I insisted on asking why it was 2m when in the clearbook folder she showed me the fine was 10m and just said "2m I help you"

I love VN and I'm planning to go back again. Do you think this will impact my next entry or is it now water under the bridge?
