North Vietnam is a satellite of China, so by your logic, they're all
satellites of China, and so they must all be allied with China.
I'm not even sure what you mean by "satellite," but no matter what it
means, it certainly does not mean that if A is a satellite of B, then
A and B will be allied in the next generational crisis war.
One thing's for sure: You can't figure out what's going on by quoting
six wikipedia articles.
Here's an India Times article that sorts out some of the relationships
of ASEAN countries with India and China, and is a lot more sensible
than wikipedia:

In the case of Cambodia, what you need to do is go back and analyze
the genocide of the 1970s, where 2 million people were killed out of 8
million. Once you understand where the descendants of the two
belligerent populations are today, and the attitudes of the younger
generations, only then can you figure out what Cambodia is going to do
in terms of alliances. It's even possible that Cambodia will be
split, with the two groups who fought against each other in the 1970s
having their children fighting against each other again.
It really is tiring that you always talk about boomers. It makes you
look like a total idiot, which you are.
