Yes, every single one of them came back.
The only way to truly kill a wight is to burn their bones to black ash.
And the only way to kill a White Walker is with Fire magic.
And the biggest source of fire magic in the land right now comes from the priests of the God of Light, R'hllor (remember Berric Dondarrion's flame sword) or dragon fire, dragons are for all intents and purposes creatures of magic.
My guess is that the fire used to forge Valyrian Steel is Dragon Fire, which is what makes them so resilient and deadly to the White Walkers.
There are a few Valyrian Swords left in the world of Westeros.
Longclaw which belongs to House Mormont, currently being used by Jon.
Ice of House Stark, now reforged into:
Widow's Wail of Tommen, and
Oathkeeper, of Brienne of Tarth.
Heartsbane of House Tarly, belonging to the Lord of House Tarly, Randyll, Sam's father.
Nightfall, of House Harlaw, one of the vassal houses of House Greyjoy.
Red Rain of House Drumm, one of the vassal houses of House Greyjoy
Arahk, belonging to a Sellsword battling alongside Daenerys named Caggo.
And a few of them have been lost but could reappear at any given time, namely
Blackfyre, the sword of Aegon I Targaryen. Carried by all Targaryen kings until Aegon IV, who gave it to his bastard Daemon, who rose in rebellion against the Targaryens, taking the sword's name for his house. Its whereabouts are currently unknown.
Brightroar, the ancestral sword of House Lannister, lost when King Tommen II Lannister of the Rock sailed to Valyria and never returned.
Dark Sister, the sword wielded by Visenya Targaryen. Its last known owner was Bryden "Bloodraven" Rivers.
Could wind up in Bran's hands
Lamentation, the ancestral sword of House Royce, lost in the Storming of the Dragonpit.
Orphan-Maker, the ancestral sword of House Roxton. Its last known owner was Ser Jon Roxton.
Truth, a Valyrian steel sword last carried by Moredo Rogare of Lys.
Vigilance, the ancestral sword of House Hightower (House ruler of Oldtown, where maesters are formed, the house of Margaery's mother, wife or Lord Mace Tyrell, vassall of the Tyrells). Its last known owner was Lord Ormund Hightower.
