Phage's first ability doesn't have any targets (none of her abilties do), so Willbender's trigger cannot even legally target that trigger. Anything, that can counter or otherwise stop triggers can stop Phage from killing you, though, yes.
Remember, just being affected does not make something/someone a target. Only by being identified specifically with the word "target" does something/someone become a target. Look for the "target" in the card's rules text, or in the rules for some keyword abilities (like equip). If there is no "target", then there is no target.
