Yup this works. I uploaded a video this morning with a resolution 640x480 (the new recommended resolution).
Here is the high res version (480x360)

And the low res version

If you look at them both side by side the high res one is much clearer, and in full screen the high res version looks much better.

YouTube announced in November that they would be testing out encoding
videos at higher resolutions (and with higher-quality audio encoding).
Now it appears that a small sampling of uploaded videos can already be
seen at their higher resolutions, simply by adding a little tag to the
end of the video's URL. To get a (slightly noticeable) bump in
resolution, try adding &fmt=6 to the end of the address line. The
trick, according to YouTube watchers, seems to work primarily with
newer videos, and bumps the resolution from 320x240 to 448x336. Add
&fmt=18 to the end of the URL, and you might get an MP4-encoded
version, with better audio and a 480x360 resolution.
