If that part doesn't happen, and Gus still kills Victor, we are left wondering why and that's when a theory like Ark's would be more valid IMO. If Victor doesn't get seen at the crime seen, or if Victor tells Mike that he wasn't seen, I belive he is still alive.
I'm totally of the mind he was killed because he was seen. I mean, why else would Gilligan have wrote that line into that scene and have Mike give him a look.

Because that line is realistic. In what world would Mike not ask Victor if he was seen? That's the sort of question that every criminal asks a fellow criminal after returning from the scene of a crime. It wouldn't make any sense for him not to ask that. Naturally, when Victor says "yes" Mike is going to give him a disapproving look. He's not going to say "Oh good, did Gale have anything decent to eat in the fridge?"
Victor realized that he screwed up by allowing Walt to successfully plan Gale's death. That's why he was so pissed off when he got back to the lab and that's why he made that desperate attempt at replacing Walt as the cook. It was an attempt to atone for his mistake. That probably made Gus even more furious. He screws up and then he insults the integrity of his business by attempting to do something that he is not even remotely qualified for.
