That is, whoever shoots first is probably the winner. Dio stops time before Diavolo? Dio wins. Diavolo skips before the time stop? Diavolo gets a free hit but then y'know... vampire. (and no, don't get confused with "but Dio hasn't adjusted to Jonathans' body yet!" because the only time Diavolo and Dio would ever meet would be AFTER Dio took blood from a Joestar. Dio never left his mansion in Egypt for the duration of Part 3 until the Joestars got there. Dio and Diavolo crossing paths is for all intents and purposes a mathematical impossibility until Dio starts being active in the world.) Maybe if he struck the heart and completly destroyed it DIO would die? If not we do know the regen isnt instant and DIO would then stop time defensively I'm pretty sure that wouldn't exactly work. Remember in Part 2, when Joseph absolutely loaded Straizo with 50 .45 ACP bullets from a Thompson submachine gun bearing a 10.5 inch barrel (barrel length increasing the speed of the bullets due to the rifling) then '''splattered him all over the walls with a grenade? '''Straizo ended up surviving that, and basically willed himself back together. While yes, he was weakened considerably, he still retained superb strength and agility, being able to cling to walls with one hand (his grip strength then was listed at 325kg/cm^3!) So, I don't think it would be too easy for Diavolo to put DIO in the grave.
