If I'm going for a two weeks vacation and know I will never return - is it a reason to learn that country's language, further than hello/thank you/bye?

I think so, yes. There are tons of benefits to learning other languages even if you never travel at all. Traveling is a great opportunity to start picking up a new one.

It also demonstrates respect for people of the country you're traveling to.

There is no reason to learn the language of every country you visit for a short vacation, though. You'll do just as well learning a something convenient in your own country. In the US, this would usually mean Spanish.
