I inadvertently used alumunum nails to fasten some vinyl siding to some 1/2in. treated plywood of the new processing treatment. The plywood was covered with 30lb. felt so that it will remain dry, but will the nails corrode anyway? If so,how long can I expect them to hold?

Greetings KOH,
As a first time poster Welcome to Breaktime.
Unfortunately, not enough time has passed with the ACQ on the market for an assured answer by experience for your situation.
Some say if the moisture is removed and stays dry the corrosive ability of the ACQ is lessened or nil.
Other posters with more to add will follow.
Cheers
We can imagine something that only exists in our heads, in a form that has no measureable, tangible reality, and make it actually occur in the real world. Where there was nothing, now there is something.

Yep, they'll corrode from condensation. Don't know how long - longer than if they were exposed - but aluminum and copper don't complement each other.
Sorry.

yes they will.. in short order..
not so muck as in corroding as in dissolving..

WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
yep they will be gone sooner than latter. We cant even use aluminun flashing on decks any more.
