It does, 
see http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.1/pages/pipelines/functions.html#parse-date 
for reference. But your date pattern may be wrong 
(see 
http://www.joda.org/joda-time/apidocs/org/joda/time/format/DateTimeFormat.html 
for reference).

Please share some example messages, so that we can validate your rule.

The $ character is simply part of the variable name containing the current 
message (which is "$message"). It doesn't have a special meaning.
