You still need to run a new nitrogen cycle.
Bacteria's different.

^ yep still need a good cycle. If tank has lots of deposits on the inside I'd wash them out a bit.

If the tank is encrusted with stuff - dried salt, coraline algae, ect, then yes, water and vinegar helps. I'd probably do that on any used tank regardless if it was used for fresh or salt. That way I know for sure I'm starting clean.
