Sounds plausible. Though i think it may have been some type of evolving stand that progressively became stronger combat-wise as Dio recovered. It started out as Holy's stand, then Purple Hermit, then Crazy Diamond, and finally Star Platinum variation. Which may explain why he could only use time stop during the final fight.
