I doubt most Japanese know of the peace movement in the 60s and associate the v-sign to that. It's like "say cheese!" in the states.... it's something they do....
It's the sign of peace and nobody knows when it started or why the Japanese are using it so commonly.

But it is the sign of peace and the Japanese know that cause my friends always referred to it as the Sign of Peace.
