Yes, taking a snapshot forces a GC cycle. You can also run it yourself at any time pressing the "Run Garbage Collector" button.
Keep in mind that your disposing method will not cause your objects to be collected, but rather be collectable or eligible for GV. Until the GC kicks in, those objects could be unreacheable (if you managed to clean up properly) but still alive (and that's what the Live Objects view reflects).
