Will an Arceus caught by this method trigger the HGSS event?
It WILL trigger the event, even if you already did the event and let you choose one of the 2 that you didn't choose already. You will also get special text, so yeah. Go for it.

I think there's no reason it shouldn't do as I remember using a hacked Hall of Origin Arceus to access it again after accessing it once with a legit non Hall of Origin event Arceus. Not fully sure though.
Honestly if it wasn't such a pain to get to this point I'd go all over the void to see what scripts I could trigger with Retire. I may not be able to get Arceus, but no one is going to stop me from having fun in this endless twilight zone!
Using the this method will you be able to save in the hall of origin safely before encountering arceus? I want to know cause itd make shiny hunting so much easier
No, you can't and shouldn't save in the HoO this way.
This is because the Hall of Origin area is only 1 tile large. Yes, saving in the Hall of Origin would cause other Hall of Origin areas to appear in RAM, but they'd be many dozens of thousands of steps away thanks to the newly-updated 1x1 matrix.
It is possible to save during the 1792 S downwards trek for the purposes of shiny hunting though, as others have had success with this. You just have to make sure it's a safe Jubilife City area that you're saving in, otherwise you'll have to start from square 1.

If only it were one square larger, then the Arceus would be registered as being caught in the HoO instead of the Mystery Zone and would count as legal. Argh!!
The 32 E and 32 W steps before and after the 384 S are to bypass an area that contains map IDs between 176 and 188, which will guarantee a crash when an action that redraws the entire screen (such as exiting a battle or returning from the Pokedex, bag, etc.) is performed.
