That is only Part 6. The Aryans in Parts 1-5 and 7 did not come from Anatolian farmers.
"It's theorized that lighter-skin came from Anatolian farmers too, to help with Vitamin D."
Light skin evolved independently in different parts of the world:

"So it can be concluded lighter-skin = Aryan?"
No. Firstly, the Neolithic Revolution also occurred in regions where dark skin was evolutionarily advantageous and hence which did not evolve light skin. Secondly, the alleles for skin lightening are different than the alleles for Aryan traits, therefore subsequent carriers of the alleles for skin lightening do not necessarily have Aryan traits, and furthermore light skin does not even statistically correlate with Aryan traits. For example:

After the ancestors of West Eurasians and East Eurasians diverged more than 40,000 years ago, lighter skin tones evolved independently in a subset of each of the two populations. In West Eurasians, the A111T allele of the rs1426654 polymorphism in the pigmentation gene SLC24A5 has the largest skin lightening effect and is widespread in Europe, South Asia, Central Asia, the Near East and North Africa.[26]

Meanwhile, in the case of East Asia and the Americas, a variation of the MFSD12 gene is responsible for lighter skin colour.[32]
