For this scenario let's assume the following:

The phone is stolen and locked. The thief does not know the lock combination and cannot determine it. There is an external SD slot. The thief might already reseted my phone

In case it matters, the phone is a Sony Xperia z2

    A factory reset from Recovery Mode will remove/unlink Android Device Manager, but (since Android 5.0) it will require your Google account password on first boot so the phone won't be usable. – Matthew Read Feb 27 '16 at 07:04

No, Android Device Manager will not work. It is so, as it does not have the data and information of its setting and accounts. But all of your data will not get in hand of thief.

Did you report it stolen with your carrier? They could report the ESN / IMEI as stolen so at the very least the thief probably wouldn't be able to sell it.
