No, it won't work out-of-box.
1) PRS-505 doesn't support PRC format, so you'll need first to convert it to something it understands. A program called Calibre will probably help you here.
2) The default fonts on PRS-505 cover only Latin characters used in Western languages. The don't have all necessary letters for Vietnamese. So you'll need to replace the fonts. There is a guide available on these forums which describes the process step-by-step.

P.S. You can skip step 2 by using EPUB format with embedded fonts. But I think Calibre doesn't support font embedding yet.
