[snip] 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.
