Assuming that the vehicle was stolen and not recovered for more than 6 months, then yes you can have a salvage title on a stolen automobile because the insurance company would write it off as a total loss after six months just as if it was wrecked. My truck currently has a rebuilt title due to this exact reason. It was not recovered for 8 months and by that time the insurance company had written it off. That being the case I got a heck of a deal on a nearly new truck and while the resale value will be less, the price I paid for it was a lot less than a clean title would have been so it averages out.

If a salvage yard owns a car is the title considered salvage?

Depends on the existing title, if the salvage company owns the vehicle and it does not have a salvage title then they would be just another owner like anyone else and this vehicle would have a clean title assuming that there are no lean holders. On the other hand if the vehicle in question has already received a salvage/non repairable or similar title then salvage/non repairable or similar title would follow the vehicle not a clean title.
