You are correct, since the vampires ability says "when" this means its a triggerd abiliy, and when its on the stack you can kill the vampire without the regernation possibility

Side note: Thanks to the Urborg he played I used undertakers to make use of the 2 I had in hand and used his Urborg to power my tendrils for a tasty 16 life.
