The Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown is by far the most important item in the Great Tomb of Nazarick. If the staff is destroyed, the guild "Ainz Ooal Gown" will cease to exist. What this likely means is that all of the Tomb's custom NPCs will disappear, most likely along with everything else that the guild put in the tomb and it would probably revert to the form it took before AOG took it over.

As a result, Ainz, who is already very cautious, wants to do everything he can to preserve this item. Not only does he hide the staff, he does so in a place that is away from all the other treasure. So even if someone did infiltrate the tomb (highly unlikely), and even if they did get a Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown (highly unlikely), and even if they did go to the treasury (highly unlikely), and even if they realized that the fake staff was, well, fake (highly unlikely), the real staff would still be hidden. In a way, the treasury itself acts as a decoy since one would expect the most valuable items to be there.

Ainz kind of has a habit of this, making a bunch of "Plan Bs" and fallback plans to deal with situations that could potentially rise up, even if they're highly unlikely.
