While I do think they have been hinting a war might happen, I still agree with Blizzard, there just is no chance Vacuo initiates it before Atlas falls to some catastrophe. Wars initial phase requires offense, and a bunch of loosely associated Survivalists won't start something... but Salem can by making whatever she does look like a Vacuan attack, so a war is definitely possible after she moves, but not before.
