As written, as far as I'm aware, psychic casters are unable to use Mnemonic Vestment, due to a clarifying passage in the description that reads
It's pretty clear that this passage wasn't intended to exclude psychic casters, who didn't exist when the book was originally published. It's also a meaningless distinction for PFS where scrolls don't have a 'type' like arcane, psychic, or divine. Most items of this nature like Pages of Spell Knowledge have had analogous items created to serve identical functions for psychic casters (Shards of Psychic Power, in the former case). Mnemonic vestment remains unavailable to them though as far as I can tell.
In looking for information on this subject, I came across several threads from a number of years back of back-and-forth between folks arguing about whether psychic casters could make use of Pages of Spell Knowledge, presumably from before Shards of Psychic Power were introduced, rendering the matter irrelevant. I couldn't find anyone even asking about Mnemonic Vestment though.
Has this matter ever been ruled on? It seems like it would be unfortunate to leave psychic casters screwed because of a goofy backwards compatability issue.

My reading would be that the "(arcane or divine)" is meant to clarify what "same type of spell" means, and it is not written to explicitly exclude any other such types later introduced.
That said, PFS campaign rules are that the type of magic (arcane/divine/psychic) doesn't matter for scrolls (or wands), so that particular restriction technically only applies to spellbooks.
