I find a bit of peculiarity on this too.

If I have 

  (dired-omit-mode 1)
  (setq dired-omit-files
         (concat dired-omit-files "\\|^\\..+$"))

Dired opens with the dot files still visible (Yes they can be toggled
to hidden)

But if I have:
  (setq-default dired-omit-files-p t)
  (setq dired-omit-files
          (concat dired-omit-files "\\|^\\..+$"))

Then Dired opens with dot files hidden (Which is what I wanted).  And
of they can be toggled showing.
