Salem wouldn't change targets just because the main characters are at a different school; she'd still attack the school that is in the spotlight and is the easier target when it comes to furthering her goals.

Instead of having RWBY fighting Roman on the docks to stop him from stealing dust or trying to deal with a train crashing through a wall and releasing Grimm into Vale, we'd have slice of life schooltime in Vacuo as they train for the tournament and hear about these things happening over in Vale.

Then things may go down in the tournament in a very similar manner, but it would be a different team who is manipulated to be sent through to the finals and make Ozpin look bad. RWBY would be a side team, like ABRN and NDGO.
