That is a possibility unless some love was lost in mid-1939, see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battles_of_Khalkhin_Gol

In April 1941, Japan and SSSR signed a non-aggression pact, which lasted until 9 August 19I45.

Yes, but the non-aggression pact does not mean that the high-ranking Japanese officers were flying across the USSR at will, or immediately after the pact was signed. And then, they would have roughly two-months for this supposed fly-over before the operation Barbarossa began.

Perhaps they got to Germany in a submarine instead.

During the time period, Vietnam was part of Indochina. I have no idea what the French were doing there.

Yes, goods, and personnel were traded under a program called Yanagi.
