Emperor isn't a Bounded Stand. It has no physical form until Hol Horse summons it, and then it can only be seen by other Stand users (as proven by Boingo when he and Hol Horse teamed up).

It also can't be considered a Close-Range Stand (for obvious reasons), and it can't be considered a Long-Range Stand because the gun part of the Stand never leaves his hand.

Might be a Stand Colony (see Special Stands page), since the gun and the bullet are both part of the Stand. Although I also agree with your theory that it falls into the same category as Hermit Purple. Oddly enough, I can't find any mention of what category Hermit Purple falls into. I guess it and Emperor are hard Stands to classify.
