Your vamp. takes an action to encounter another vampire in torpor. By
successfully encountering that vamp, your vamp can either diablerize it or
rescue it(its part of the encountering action). So, yes, it is all one
action.

Forgive me if this question has already been asked, but it is a subject of
much debate in my Jyhad circle.
In the rules (I have the corrected rule book) it says that encountering a
vampire in torpor is an action that, if successful, give you the option of
rescuing or diablerizing the encountered vampire. The question under
debate is whether the encountering is done on one turn and the
rescue/diablerize is on the next turn, or if it all occurs on one turn. It
would appear that it is two turns, as encountering can be blocked and so
can rescuing/diablerizing. If it does take two turns, it makes Chantry one
hell of a good card!
Thank you for your time.

The full action is "encounter <name> in torpor to <rescue/diablerize".
If the action is not blocked, then the vampire is immeidately rescued
or diablerized, as appropriate.

enemy Methuselah declare a block of a vamp attempting to rescue itself
from torpor, successfully block, but not diablerize (in this case,
because he didn't want to incur the vote for a bloodhunt, which he
was destined to lose)? The rulebook says 'may diablerize', so we
assumed the enemy Kindred has a choice as to whether to diablerize
or not. What's the verdict, Tom?

release itself (which attempt to block cannot be blocked or avoided except
by increasing the stealth on the minion), and burn without diablerizing...
