The answer is it depends. The issue of arrest for contempt is up to the judge. The judge may order an immediate arrest, may issue or warrant for arrest, or may give the party against whom the contempt is alleged time to "purge the contempt". The last is a chance for the party accused of contempt to correct whatever situation has caused the contempt to exist.
Contempt is an afront to the court, whether it is disobedience of a court order or improper conduct in a courtroom. Filing for contempt asks a judge to make a finding that a party has not obeyed an order. That issue is ultimately up to a judge.
