There's no credible evidence that he murdered Hoffa just like there's no such evidence that he murdered Gallo. Remember, per the film, that the only reason that Frank gets involved is because Bufalino reasons that he has to involve Frank in it. Hoffa could have been lured to his death without Frank's involvement at all, so Bufalino's reasons were specious at best.

What I question is why was Salerno given such a prominent role since, at the time, he was only a capo in the Genovese family. Well, the film was based on the novel and the novel was based on Fran's recollections much of which could be fiction to begin with.
