Is there a way to use Vim for the text editing part?

Yes, two options exist.  I use both, choosing the one to use to edit
text depending on the amount of text to be edited and the Vim features
you want to use.

Both options need to be enabled in your "myLeoSettings.leo" file.  See
chapter 8 in the Users Guide for help with configuring Leo.

Vi/Vim emulation:
A subset of the Vi/Vim command set is available within Leo by enabling
the Vi/Vim emulation key mappings in your myLeoSettings.leo file.  See
chapter 22 in the User Guide for information on enabling the emulation
and the commands supported.  The emulation is focused on Vi
functionality and has many limitations.

Vim program interface:
Leo will interface with supported external editors using the
"open_with" plugin.  To interface with the Vim program, enable the
"Vim" and "mod_tempfname" plugins (the "open_with" plugin in is
already enabled).  See chapter 12 of the User Guide for information
about plugins.  The open_with plugin will launch Vim and pass the
current node's body text to Vim for editing.  Any time the Vim buffer
is saved, Leo's node is automatically updated with the new text.
The following link describes some of the latest enhancements.

Additional insight on both features can be obtained by searching this
forum.
