The out occurs when the out occurs, cliches not withstanding. The out does not occur when it's called. In fact, there are outs that we don't call (obvious fly balls, etc).

So if you are going by the book here, you have another inning.

I suspect, however, that 95% of the umpires you come across will not notice the time on the clock at the moment of the check swing (whether the not-noticing is intentional or not is probably split fairly evenly).
