In the West, pretty sure they'll ignore the Vita is most or all occasions. Deadman's Cross came out because we already had the localization from the iOS/Android versions. What about SaGa and DQH2? We could get the iOS-to-Vita ports if only because they might be localized for the iOS release.
Who is pulling the strings might answer this question. Perhaps Koei Tecmo might have some more say and they love to release the game on all 3 Playstation systems in the West.
If the fear is cannibalization, then I understand not releasing on the PS3. However, ignoring the Vita, even if a digital only release, seems a bit off. I dont think Vita sales will cannibalize the PS4, but me more of a "in addition" type sales. Perhaps you will get people who buy it on both systems just to have a portable version? You already have the translation file, I cant see the economics of adding that translation file to the Vita version would be so astronomical as to avoid bringing it to the West. I would imagine whatever sales SE would get on the Vita in the west, however little it is, would more than make up for that cost. However, I cant pretend to know the financials NOR SE logic.
I certainly hope they bring the Vita version here. I also certainly hope that if they translate and port Chaos Rings 3 to the west, they put the effort in to get the Vita game over. I mean they put in an English language patch for the first games that are part of the Vita collection out in east since they had the translations already done. *shrugs*
