Ah, you want to ssh into some box and be greeted there
by a freshly started vim...

PAM seems to be the wrong instrument. I don't know if
it even knows whether your session is running.

One possibility would be to invoke it client-side, like
so:

  ssh -t me@some.host vim

(the -t is there to coax ssh into allocating a PTY, because
the other side will be a screen-based program).

Another would be to embed a command in the other side's
authorized_keys entry (the nice thing about this solution
is that you can control that on a key-by-key basis).

Cheers
