It equals /əu/?
So we read Vuitton as /viːˈtəun/? Or /viːˈtɔn/?

No, even it may sound similar, a sound doesn't equal any other sound. Say it this way, /viːˈtɒn/.
As about /viːˈtɔn/, I have never come across /ɔ/ by itself (only in diphthongs: /ɔɪ/ as in join or /ɔː/ (long o), as in broad), I don't know if that's possible.

Like you, I've never come across ɒ. which is pronounced like "o" in the word "long"?

Yes. It's the standard phonemic symbol for the sound in BrE: Phonetic symbols for English

No, I said that I had never come across "isolated" /ɔ/ (only in diphthongs or long o). (long o = /ɔ:/) (short o = ɒ). Long and short are their names or, at least, how I call them, they were not examples.
