An appeal play is a timing play. For example, if a runner leaves a base before a fly ball is caught, an outfielder throwing the ball to a base is a form of appeal.
You are correct that in the above that the runner from 3b would not score, but you are stating the wrong reason. The reason the runner would not score, is that no runs can score when a batter runner makes the third out before reaching first base successfully.
Another example. Bases loaded, two outs, BR hits the ball over the fence for an apparent home run. If BR misses first base on his grand slam trot around the bases, and if the defense then successfully appeals, no runs would score.
