If when I'm looking at the map for embarking and I see that Humans, Elves, Goblins and Dwarfs are near me but once I've embarked my civilization screen only shows the Dwarf nation I came from will there be any visitors from the other races?

The civilization screen after you have embarked only shows the civs that have had a presence (detected or otherwise) on the embark area. When a new race arrives in the area it will appear on the list. If you want to see whether a civ/race will appear at all at your site you need to press tab a few times before you select your embark area.

I know that starting deep in the mountains will usually cut you off from other civilizations so I've been trying to find volcano I can start at that still has access to the other civs in the area. This last one I just tried showed the above listed races on the embark screen but after setting up shop and letting time pass they never showed up or even appeared on the civilization screen.

dont forget that if you start on an island, other races usually cannot trade, war etc with you.

and, not taking over the thread or anything, but if there is an olm man civ on the screen, where can i find them?

Caverns.

Sometimes it'll take 3-5 years for a civ to make it to your fort, particularly if they live far away.
In case you already didnt know, Elves normally show up in the (late) spring of your second year, Humans normally the (late) summer of the same year, Goblins depends on wealth and population, tho most of the time I get them by my third year. 

Elves and Humans wont show up on the civ screen until their caravans have arrived on your map. Goblins dont show until one of them arrives. As they normally arrive stealthed this is a good way to know that there may be trouble coming that first time.
