Is that mean that when we decrease the mass of the rotation objects we will have much power on the dyno ?

The best way to make this stuff make sense is to take it to the extremes. Throw on a monster truck tire in the back....do you think that's easier to turn then a stock tire?

I'll put it this way. There is a difference between an engine dyno and a chassis dyno. An engine dyno measures how much power the motor makes at the flywheel, where a chasis dyno measures it at the wheels. A chasis dyno is always lower due to the extra resistance it takes to turn a clutch, driveshaft, rear end, and wheels/tires. Anything that you can do to reduce those loses will get you closer to the engine dyno's number. Typically, you see a 10-20% loss due to drivetrain.
