No really, it's a hoax
The story behind this flag was fabricated by Nguyễn Đình Sài, a former member of the anti-Communist organization Việt Tân, who wrote the "Quốc Kỳ Việt Nam: Nguồn Gốc và Lẽ Chính Thống” (The National Flag of Viet Nam: Its Origin and Legitimacy) in September 2004. To back up his claim, Nguyền Đình Sài cited a webpage from Worldstatesmen website by Ben Cahoon, an American researcher affiliated with University of Connecticut. However, Nguyễn Đình Sài admitted Cahoon "did not name any specific documents" for Cahoon's claim that the yellow flag with three red stripes was used between 1890–1920. The reason why Nguyễn Đình Sài fabricated this story was so he could give the South Vietnamese flag more historical legitimacy by connecting it with anti-French resistance and national pride decades before it actually existed, as well as to legitimise the symbols used by South Vietnam.

 * , they've also been adding hoaxes about the South Vietnamese flag, I can't revert them anymore because it would be considered "edit warring" and I'd get banned for life while they would be free to insert hoaxes, please also undo their recent additions to the "List of flags of Vietnam" article. --Donald Trung (talk) 17:51, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
