Please keep discussions on the mailing list.

arpeggioBracket is just a variable, containing some (slightly more cryptic) 
code. It's defined in the file ly/property-init.ly under the directory where 
lilypond's data files are installed.

The command contains something like { \override Arpeggio ... } . You should 
paste this into your file, and modify it so the setting is done in the 
PianoStaff context. It's a good idea to read chapter 9, "Changing Defaults", 
in the manual, which also tells you how to revert the setting.

(Also, you probably want to use \context Staff rather than \context Voice in 
your example)
