No, the Viet Minh became the People's Army of Vietnam (i.e. The North Vietnamese Army).
At the eight plenum of the Indochinese Communist Party in the spring of 1941, in the context of Japanese occupied French Indochina, the Viet Nam Doc Lap Dong Minh Hoi (Revolutionary League for the Independence of Vietnam) was formed. With Indochina being under Japanese occupation at the time, the opportunity seemed too good to pass on: the French colony was isolated from mainland France and with the presence of the Japanese, there never was a more stronger situation to start pushing for liberation from foreign occupiers - in this case, both the French and the Japanese. The goal of the Viet Minh was national liberation and the Viet Minh was very much in the tradition of the Maoist guerrilla theory: a united and broad front, that was dominated by the Indochinese Communist Party, that would engage all of the Vietnamese people. This would make it easier to not only gain the support of the civilian population but also the Allied powers. As soon as the war had been won and an independent Vietnam with a united front government had been installed, then the road towards communism would begin. By the end of the war, the Viet Minh was as far from the guerrilla army that the Viet Cong would later be known as: at the battle of Dien Bien Phu, the Viet Minh effectively fought and defeated the French Army in a conventional battle with conventional tactics, effectively marking the turning point in which the Viet Minh became a conventional army.
