not the item's passive. you get spell vamp from the active, but that's the case anyway. the TYPE of damage from spells (including item actives) does not affect whether it gives spell vamp or not.

for example, pantheons spear shot (physical), sion's Cryptic Gaze(magical) and Olaf's True strike (True) all grant damage. as does Gunblade's active, as does DFG's active etc. the passive however is an on-hit effect, and those do not benefit from spell vamp at all.
