You may get water forming from the results of a supernova explosion but only a fairly long time after the actual explosion. Once the gas and dust formed in the explosion has had enough time to cool down to the point where water can condense out on the tiny dust grains that form in the debris after the explosion. The dust grains act as condensation nuclei for the ice crystals that form...much the same way as the process happens to form clouds here on Earth.
