Varus is as of yet still not confirmed to be a darkin neither has his bow. This may change once Kayn gets released and lore exists to back this up.

However, as mentioned by Sharjo HERE and further elaborated upon during the first and the last paragraph HERE  the darkin are not actually the weapons, rather the darkins are sealed within weapons but can  effectively free themselves  by killing the wielder of said weapons and taking control of the wielder's body as seen with Rhaast.
