I believe that the inverse Mill's ratio is based on
normality/Gaussianity of the error term in the regression equation of
the (latent) dependent variable against the explanatory variables. So
it applies to selection in a linear regression and in probit and
ordered probit, but not in logit or ordered logit or negative binomial
regression. But I could be wrong.
