It has been a while since I used a servo motor but I thought that they were two wire commutated DC motors when described by two words. Often a built in hall sensor circuitry would control the commutation if brushless operation is desired.
By the very name a servomotor requires feedback, an induction motor does not. Thus an induction motor can be part of a servomotor system but a commutated DC motor can be part of a servomotor, too.

some 2-phase steppers (probably not the ones with 5 wires) will turn on one phase AC with a capacitor as a "running" cap. Eppur si muove, it turns, not very useful perhaps.
In the past
I did a test with a 0.75 kW 6 pole
Siemens servo motor. The rotor of this servomotor was equipped with permanent
magnets. The stator had a 3 phase winding connected in wye.
As power supply
a 3 phase variable transformer (variac)
was used.
When I
slowly increased the voltage, the stator current also gradely increased, but the motor
would not turn only shake. Because I didn't
want to harm the rotor magnets, I stopped the test at a safe current.
Probably
because of the permanent magnets, at the moment the rotor is starting to turn
around, the stator is working as a generator. The generated voltage will be
opposed to the supply voltage.
Two power
sources working against each other ? Someone has a better explanation?
