You answered your question yourself. WMS is only for transfering raster
data. And the answers to queries regarding that data. If you want to
transfer vector data, you want to look at WFS.

For importing a WMS layer, it does not matter what data source the
remote server uses, you will always get a raster image.

I was just wondering, this does work without an ampersand at the end? I
remember cases where this broke for me.
