Can I place just 3 cards with [Vemmon] in their texts as this Digimon's bottom digivolution cards for the conditions of this card's [When Digivolving] effect?

No, you can't. A "by doing X" condition can't be met if only some of the required actions are performed. The conditions for this [When Digivolving] effect require you to place the specified number of cards as digivolution cards.
