I haven't heard that but it is worth a try since it would virtually be harmless.
I have found eating spicy hot foods makes mosquitoes avoid me. Then when I do get a bite I never scratch it. I poke at it with a finger tip (watch the nail). That way it doesn't break the skin and cause swelling and more itching.
Good luck with the vinegar.

no. moreover, the vinegar is going to hurt your skin and leave you a dark mark if you have dark skin. soap(basic and closer to your skin natural pH) is more likely to help the bug bite go away.
