I want to thank everyone for looking into this problem. I posted this problem on 3 separate threads to try to find a solution so this problem was looked at thoroughly. Keith Young (Spanki) who I consider an expert in the use of the OBJ file format has completed many, many tests and he has concluded the problem is with Vue. Vue is calculating it's own axis location for imported OBJ files. (Most applications calculate the axis point from the objects "bounding box" but this is not the case with Vue.)
Unfortunately there is currently not a solution and either 1 of 2 scenarios occur.
Note: The only exception I have found is if you import a simple cube or rectangle, then Vue will center the axis point in some situations, but importing more complex OBJ models into Vue results in the models axis/pivot point being "off center".
