I haven't had a video flagged personally, so this information comes from reports I've seen over the last several years; as I understand it you have an option to claim that it doesn't infringe, but that option doesn't do anything except cause the entity flagging your video to re-examine it, and if they say "no" again then you have no further recourse.

According to my understanding of what http://www.youtube.com/t/contentid_dispute says (and what in fact I know from other sources inside Google), if person uploading the video fills a form claiming that it has been misidentified, the video is immediately unblocked and owner of the original video that matched has to fill an DMCA if she still believes uploader infringes copyright.

Nothing on the page you linked to says that the video will be immediately unblocked, and I've seen many reports from people with blocked videos who have specifically said the video remains blocked. "We then notify the content owner whose reference material was matched. The content owner will then review the match. If the content owner disagrees with your dispute for any reason..."
