If you open gedit, and use its FileDialog to open a file. Can you see test.txt~ there too. I can.
AFAIK, hidden files in linux are files that start with a ".".

I don't think files ending with a "~" are to be hidden.

Bogdan, do you agree with me ?

Yup - on Linux to make a file hidden a period must be added to the beginning of the object name. Addin ~ to the file name doesn't make it hidden.

Agreed. Closing.
