Suppose I create a number of directories on SSD, then issue a "sync" call.
The sync call will guarantee that any writes, even if they are stored in the write cache, will be flushed to disk by the time the sync call returns, right?

Only if the specific hardware is behaving according to the relevant specifications. It is my understanding that a lot of domestic-grade disk drives ignore any instructions to flush their cache. See also this answer.
