I think you can see that that would only work for the file: protocol, and maybe the svn+ssh: protocol.

For svn:, http: and https:, you extremely likely will not actually have "/var/lib/svn" as part of the URL; you'll configure your Subversion server to restrict repositories to exist within that directory, and expose them under a different URL.

So, it's up to you to prepend what you want to the path-within-repository part returned by svnlook.
