I like to think of this card as a nice little insurance policy for my bigguns...

Gos is correct, provided that the non-active player chooses to exile the card (it's a "you may" ability). If he chooses not to, then the active player can.
Interesting fact : what exiles the token at the beginning of the next end step is a triggered ability that can be countered by things like Stifle. If it is countered, you keep the token indefinitely.

What about if i copy Argent Sphinx and i use his metalcraft ability, when he is back it stay permanently?
and the copy cards that have the ability "When enter the battlefield" like Corpse Cur: "When Corpse Cur enters the battlefield, you may return target creature card with infect from your graveyard to your hand" have its ability activated?.

@Bakyo I'm not sure about the Argent Sphinx question, but yes the Corpse Cur's ability would activate.

Regarding Ardent Sphinx: Definitely not. Mimic Vat creates a token that's a copy of it. Exiling a token means that it's moved to a zone other than the battlefield. As soon as state-based effects are checked (that is, as soon as a player would get priority), it ceases to exist. Thus, there is nothing to return.

Imagine Imprinting a Wurmcoil Engine. Bring him back, bash for 6 and gain some life. Then sac him with Throne of Geth, giving you 2 3/3 artifacts with deathtouch and lifelink and also giving yourself a free proliferate. Do this every turn, only costing you 3 mana each turn. I think this could be really nasty with cards like Steel Overseer.

Allies, perhaps?

@CJM2:
You are incorrect. If multiple triggered abilities trigger at the same time the active player chooses what order his triggered abilities go on the stack and then the non-active player chooses the order to put his triggered abilities on the stack. So the non-active players triggered abilities will resolve first. So If you and an opponent have a mimic vat out in play and a creature goes to the graveyard then the non-active player will get the creature if they want it.

***QUESTION***
bob and tom both have a mimic vat in play.
bobs turn: tom uses shatter on bobs wurmcoil engine
bob says its exiled with his mimic vat
tom says its exiled with his mimic vat
hypothesis: bobs turn: both bob and tom's vats trigger::: bob gets priority:::bob targets wurm::: bob passes priority to tom::: tom targets wurm ::: tom's resolves first exiling the wurm ::: bob's resolves with no target.
