Is it possible to transfer files directly from a DSLR (mini usb) to a Windows phone 8 phone (Micro usb)
Like the connection kit allows it for the ipads (normal USB)

No it is not.

I would assume no. A USB cable is directional when it comes to host vs peripheral. The USB A (normal USB) is the controller or host, while the USB B (mini-B or micro-B) is typically the peripheral. Apple of course does not use a standard USB cable. There may be a workaround for this, but I have never seen a Micro to Mini cable.

It's not the cables that control any of this, it's the actual devices themselves. WP8 doesn't support USB OTG which is what it would need to actually accomplish this task.
