While it still leaves somethings unexplained, I do like this idea. It
is possible that Voldemort's wand regained physical form when
Voldemort regained his somewhat rudimentary physical form prior to his
rebirthing at the graveyard. 

We know when a wizard changes to animagus form their wand and their
clothes transform with them, and would seem to disappear while they
are in animal form. The clothes and wand only regain their original
physical form when they transform back. 

So that does set some precedent for your theory. It's not unreasonable
to consider the possibility that Voldemort wand was reduce to vapor
form at the same time that he was ripped from his body. Given that he
couldn't physically hold the wand because neither he or the wand were
physical, the only way he could perform magic was to inhabit the body
of another person and use their body and wand. Then, as you suggested,
when Voldemort regain some physical form, the wand also regained
physical form. 

That's solves a lot of problems regarding who had the wand, where it
was stored, how did he get it back, etc....

Just a thought.
