If we include the fact that things phase through him, then Diavolo would technically be in his own little “pocket dimension” that exists outside the normal flow of time.

That's not really how King Crimson is shown to work, though. Actions that occur during erased time still have normal consequences unless they directly affect Diavolo. The time stop is universal, and therefore not something that directly attacks Diavolo, so it should still activate just fine.
