:au BufWritePost vimtobu {etc...}

will only fire for filenames that match 'vimtobu'. That's not a
filetype; it's a filename pattern. See:

:help :au
:help autocmd-patterns

(One exception I know of to "{pat} is a filename" is the 'FileType'
event, where {pat} is a filetype.)

For your case, the following should work:

augroup VimTobu
au!
au BufWritePost * if &ft == 'vimtobu' | call VimTobu("save") | endif
au BufWritePost * if &ft == 'vimtobu' | echo 'SAVED!' | endif
augroup END
