Almost certainly, these files starting with ~$ are temporary MS-office "backup"-files of each file that was open in MS-Office at the time of running the FFS sync.
You can exclude these files via an Exclude Filter rule
*\~$*
This is a bit more robust than your
*\~*
as this last line would exclude every file starting with a tilde (~),
not just those starting with ~$ .
