does this get called; are there specific instances that happen a lot that I should be looking for where I can apply this rule and not get destroyed by everyone in the gym who yells "he was set"
Yes, this gets called. If the screener is clearly there before the contact (I'm using dots to imply time: set.......contact), it's probably early enough....if it is almost the same time (setcontact, or even set..contact), it's probably too late.

Remember, too, that situations where this could be called may not create an advantage for the screener's team and might be a no call.
