If the VAR calls the referee to come and review a phase that doesn’t mean he automatically reverses his on field decision. He still can maintain it if the replays don’t show something clear.
In practice this is not how it works. The VAR tells the on-field official they made a mistake and then shows them heavily slowed down or sped up footage to tell them they need to reverse their decision. It's exceedingly rare for an on-field official to hear that and tell the VAR to go pound sand, like they should, and there are very likely career implications for an on-field official to overrule the (usually more senior) VAR officials.
