Sausages were invented as a means of preservation! Typical lap cheong type sausages have been cured, smoked and dried. Three different preservation methods. So yes, the hard (dried) type usually need no refrigeration. However, any responsible vendor or brand will include that information on the packaging or inform you verbally.
But it seems you are stuck with your Vietnamese sausages unless you can find a passing Chinese aunty to teach you how to make them!
Amazon only sell branded "Chinese" sausages from S.E. Asia for the simple reason that few people in China buy branded sausages, so there are few brands. As I said upthread, most people make their own.
The sausages in that market picture were made by the vendor. They hang there all day until she sell them. In the tropics! No refrigeration.
