It isn`t so clear to me whater that savage is triggered by indirect damage. I`ve searched the forum and some say that is is just like toughness, but the diffrence in between toughness and savage is that:

- savage is triggered when a unit is d ealt damage

- toughness is triggered when a unit is assigned damage

According to faq 1.4 the player is dealt damage ( indirect damage is non-combat damage that is dealt to target player ), does is still trigger savage ability ?

A player being dealt X indirect damage means he has to distribute those X points among his units and capital zones. If he assigns one or more points to a unit with savage, that unit gets dealt that much damage and this triggers the ability.
