Yes, you should appear. The collection company will affirm to the court that you have reached a settlement and the case will be dismissed.
You shouldn't have to stay long.

Has the company sent you an Agreed Judgment to sign and return? If not, then you need to go to the Court date. If you don't, the company will file a Default Judgment that may not have the same terms you agreed to over the phone.
They are not going to dismiss the suit. After you have paid them in full, they will file a Release of Judgment, which states that the judgment has been satisfied.

Yes it does mean you settled out of court but the court needs to be made aware of the agreement. This will probably be done by the credit card company, but I would contact the proper court officials myself and make sure they're aware of your payment plan and just check and make sure you don't have to appear in court. Good luck.

You still need to appear unless you get written notice from the court.
