Added official ruling of Vier=Rikabuto vs. Dark Matter that will hopefully make it more easier to explain. The same principals apply here.

At the time Iona, Ultima/Maiden comes into play, 1 of your Rikabuto and 1 of your opponent's SIGNI are forced to be sent to the trash. Similar to the ruling of Dark Matter and many other movement-based effects, effects are still "active" as SIGNI are moved; there are many examples throughout WIXOSS that I cannot remember at the top of my head.

Because Iona, Ultima/Maiden changes the rules for the SIGNI Zone, the trashing of SIGNI happens altogether: meaning if you have 3 Rikabuto, 2 of them are sent to the trash simultaneously, meaning this will ruling will apply the same way.

The Rikabuto that have been sent to the trash will trigger in the trash, realizing your opponent's SIGNI has been trashed. Because their place of trigger (trash) also matches their place of attempt to activate (trash), Rikabuto activates.

Hopefully this makes sense.
