All EI (mainline) flights are processed through T2. What you're thinking of is some Aer Lingus aircraft using contact stands at Pier B instead of Pier E. From 1 May all EI Regional flights will be processed through T2, but aircraft may well use contact stands at Pier B instead of Pier E, or even Pier A.
I don't think passengers will see much benefit from the move unless the aircraft always park at Pier E. The benefits will mainly come from the baggage handling side of things, with EIR flights utilising T2's system, allowing it to seamlessly integrate with EI (mainline) flights.
