"I lived in Vanuatu for 10 years and still have family there and have never heard any local people refer to it as "VAH noo ar to" it is always "VAN" - as in delivery Van. The locals are referred to as Ni-Vanuatu (Ni pronounced as in 'Nee' (born) or meaning born Vanuatu. This is often shortened to "Ni-Van' or "Ni-Vans" NEVER "Ni-Vahs" or "Ni-Vahns". Your pronunciation is therefore VERY wrong although it is not the first time I have heard "outsiders" call it that."
