Oxygen in liquid form is often a key component of rocket fuel, but that's not the same as "compressed air". Perhaps it's part of a human-carrying vehicle, maybe a chunk of what was meant to be a space station.

If it was rocket fuel, say hydrazine (these are too small for the kerosene used on lower stages) this would be a public health issue. Helium would be my bet for spherical tanks. Perhaps this was from some of the "ghost" boosters that are floating in low orbit such as from the SL-16 r/b launches in the 80s. Has this come down in the north/south I would assume it was from a not-public imaging sat or launch, but vietnam is near enough the equator that it could be anything.
