I think that you've got confused.

The client is the system you use to display the screen and keyboard of
your-server.
Your X session runs on your-server.

Presumably you would run vnc server on your-server with DISPLAY as
your-client:0
your-client would now run the VNC session for some-user, not an X session,
and your HELP could shadow that.

If you run a VNC server on the client it would show, well nothing, since
the client is very little and has nothing to display, like running an X
session on your client (also showing nothing). The client does not even run
a ?dm.

What is described in the contrib section is having ?dm on your-server
launch a VNC session. I know nothing about shadowing, but presumably you
could now shadow some-users session, displaying on your-client, running
on your-server, some-where-else.
