No, DMOZ doesn't control whether or not our pages are found in google and other engines. They have an input into it but that's all. It's entirely down to Google which pages they list for a given searchterm.
DMOZ doesn't accept affiliate sites, sites that offer nothing that can't be found on other sites, business-card sites and stuff like that.
DMOZ compiled an "open" directory in that its data can be downloaded by anyone. It just happens that some of the search engines chose to use it. But entries in DMOZ are not the be-all-and-end-all of rankings. I had a site dumped out of DMOZ when I added too much affiliate stuff, but it's rankings weren't affected at all.
