Setting the variable from a command prompt, and then starting calibre from the Desktop won't work; the environment variable set is local to that command prompt (and to any programs started from that command prompt).

You need to launch calibre by typing calibre into the command prompt where you have just set the environment variable.
I suspect the OP is using Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables which sets them in the registry so they persist, from an earlier post by James

James if you are doing it at the command line, and you want to make the setting persist then use this command SetX - Set environment variables

Can you confirm that when CALIBRE_NO_NATIVE_FILEDIALOGS is set to 1 that in the 32bit (and the 64 bit) the file dialogues look like this:
