What OP mean was probably that when you yourself get pierced by the Arrow, you get an ability which helps you attain what you desire in a more superficial level. When it pierces your Stand it unlocks the capacity of helping you attain your most pure intentions.

So Kira got Bites The Dust upon being pierced by the Arrow, allowing him to keep Hayato positively silent about his identity and seemlessly slaying them in an endless loop of destiny, allowing him to revert to his original personality out of relaxation.

With Giorno Giovanna, he gets GER when he stabbed his own Stand with the Arrow head. Since his most pure desire was to overthrow Diavolo and the latter had the capacity to "remove the cause of something" (and so, rendering most actions as useless), Gold Experience effectively develops the ability to reverse the state of something altogether, essentially overcoming King Crimson's strength and sending the cappo di cappos to an endless loop of poetic justice.

TL;DR: directly getting stabbed satisfies your inate desires, your Stand getting stabbed helps you fulfill what you seek in a more profound level.
