While any AME can defer any physical they have questions about to the FAA physical standards people, they USUALLY defer them because they have detected a finding that REQUIRES deferral. In those cases the person indeed DOES NOT meet the requirements for a physical UNTIL it has been approved by the FAA.
If anyone is considering continuing to fly on an old physical it is prudent that they document their AMEs agreement that it is legal to do so.
