That doesn't make any sense. Even actions that get skipped past still have normal consequences as long as they aren't directed toward Diavolo. As the time stop is universal, time should still stop even if it's activated during time that would be erased. So the time stop should absolutely activate.

Once the time stop is activated, any actions that DIO takes shouldn't be able to be erased, because they are no longer occurring within the flow of time. Diavolo is invincible during erased time, but erased time "pauses", if you will, when the time stop activates. And as we already established, it should activate with no issue.
