Of course it does not match.  The extension match is for 9220370.  You must 
*call* 9220370 *from* 1234 in order to make this match.

the format for an extension line is

exten => extension_to_match/optional_caller_id_match,priority,command

Yes, because you are dialing '1234' and this matches the extension.
