Spell vamp applies to spell damage regardless of damage type, so will apply spellvamp even if it deals physical damage. Lifesteal only applies to basic attack damage and some physical on-hit and on-attack damage (on-hit is an effect that gets applied on every basic attack, on-attack is an effect that gets applied a limited amount of times, or just once). In the case of, each enemy hit by your minion as it flies back will apply spell vamp based on the damage dealt. That said, spell vamp is a terrible stat to build on, and I wouldn't advise it.
