For one, there's no proof he even knew about Salem, Cinder kept him on a strict "need-to-know" basis on the greater agenda at hand. Clearly she saw him as expendable, and probably would've killed Roman herself had she not been forced to retreat due to Ruby's Silver Eyes. And if she didn't, I'm sure Ironwood, Glynda, and Qrow wouldn't have hesitated to off him after what happened to Vale. So yes, Roman had virtually no chance of survivng the Fall of Beacon, which he didn't realize until it was too late, the irony of it all.
