If you think about it, DIO would be able to beat Bites The Dust, but not because of The World. Bites The Dust still works like Killer Queen's other attacks, exploding the target, and additionally it alway damages the user, not the stand, so DIO wouldn't be destroyed because of The World taking damage. DIO has been shown surviving far larger explosions than those caused by Killer Queen, and can regenerate from almost any damage that isn't sunlight or Hamon. Same thing goes for the Pillar Men and Vanilla Ice. Also Notorious B.I.G. could technically "survive" Bites The Dust, since its user being killed just activates it.
