In another reply, I said that if it is a long kick from GK and the goal comes to any of our players in dangerous, exploitable, and advantageous position making it easier to create an opportunity to score, then the GK would be likely awarded an assist.

Anw, it is all up to the judgement of the ref on whether or not that pass is decisively important.
The referee doesn't decide who is awarded the assist. That goes down to association rules and most of them follow FIFA standards.
