I've just been looking at the HHonors site, and am trying to figure out what the difference between a stay and a night is?

For example, does this mean if I stay one night in 28 different hotels, I'll earn Diamond VIP status? Or is a stay a longer period of time? Or is based on point level now?

If you have 28 one night stays in 28 different hotels, you do achieve diamond status. Many Fters switch hotels in one area
nightly to gain extra stay status. Obviously, it is easier to gain status through stays than through total nights. You can even do hotel: A-B-A each one night for a total of 3 stays. You can be very creative in this manner. It is a bit of a bother but if you really want that status......
