Based on the information given, I disagree.

Again, I disagree. The DP spot is the only
legal place in the batting order for the FLEX to bat, but the FLEX can certainly show up to bat anywhere (as in the OP).

Unless the coach announced FLEX was batting for DP, you cannot assume that was his intent. In fact, the OP makes it clear that was NOT his intent. The coach was confusing FLEX with EP. This is an illegal player, and FLEX is ejected (NCAA 8.2.3 EFFECT).
If this was ASA, the ruling would be similar. An illegal player. ASA 4-3-I, ASA Case Play 4.7-3.
