Its a directory - its free - it only helps those who list by giving them a link back to their site. It could take 6 months or more to be in the DMOZ directory, and Yahoo charges $300 to be in theirs.
Being in google isnt the goal - that happens alomst automatically - being in google and shopwing up high enough in the listings that people can actually find you - thats the goal.
The way you get higher in the rankings - is by many links back to your site from places like directories and other sites. Its one of the major reasons a site is on the first page or buried on the 30th page. Links.

The PR displayed in the toolbar is always behind the "real" PR of the page. If you look at how the directory is being linked to you'll realize it will have PR effective with the next update.
