This is very typical in Asia. Taiwan, HK, China, Korea.... years ago (sorry don't have links or quote or anything to this). My understanding of this is also "victory", and it was heavily "promoted" by Jackie Chan in the early 80s, as Mr Chan love to pose with this V sign during any kind of press or promotional event of his new movies.
