The arrow straight up fuses with Gold Experience to create GER. The arrow then falls off of GER later, and we don't see Giorno use GER again. In the manga, it's clear that Giorno doesn't just have the arrow, but that it falls off when he retracts GER. Why else would Giorno keep the arrow around, if he didn't need it? Well, Chariot Requiem had the shape of the arrow on its neck even when Diavolo was holding the true arrow in his hand. GER could work on the same premise (Giorno invokes him, he appears as he was before with the same exact shape even when it doesn't have the arrow anymore).

Regarding Giorno keeping the arrow, that doesn't need any complex explanation. He had to conservate it to avoid it falling into the wrong hands. Also, he wasn't going to leave the arrowhead thrown there on the floor. Plus having a way to create new stand users may come handy for the new Boss of Passione.
