So I'm looking at the Artificer Revisited Unearthed Arcana (PDF direct link).
The Arcane Armament feature says if you make an attack action using a magic weapon you can attack twice in that action. I'm interested in making an Artificer who is a wielder of wands primarily, but I'm wondering if this feature would not apply to wands.

Nope
It depends on the wand, but usually, it is not an Attack action.
For instance, Wand of Magic Missile requires you to "use an action", not "take an Attack action":
This wand has 7 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast the magic missile spell from it.
Even if the wand requires you to "make a ranged spell attack" it still won't be an Attack action, which is a specific term in 5e. For more details see What does upper-case-A-Attack action vs. lower-case-a-attack mean?
